I am going to start collecting some leaves this weekend and put them near the bottom. Thanks, WWHO! Years ago, I planted a yellow Lilac. I had always wanted a yellow Lilac. I had to wait six years before the plant was big enough to actually bloom. Bloom it did... for one year... one stupid purple Lilac. One! The next year, the stupid thing stopped blooming completely. (I am beginning to think someone up above doesn’t want me to have Lilacs. LOL!)
How much bloom would you have if someone you love kept calling you “stupid”?
Remember: fertilizer will never cure stupid. Tons of it are trucked out from the government everyday and Obama is still stupid.
I live on a rock pile containing alkaline clay. Our creek is named Saluda, meaning salt. Even the rocks wither and die, but I keep trying to grow things the wind doesn’t blow away.
Happy gardening! LOL!!
Did you all know that Diana’s nursery (Jung’s) sells re-blooming lilacs? IOW, they boom more than once each year.
I was thinking of getting some for a spot I’d like to fill, but (AGAIN) it is not ready for planting and no one to help. Husband is too busy, and my knee won’t let me spade.
I’d also like to have some specimens of “Miss Kim”, a drawf lilac that gets only 4-6 ft. tall.
