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!!
Our next door neighbor waited for the so called YELLOW Lilac to bloom. Waited with me for years. We finally saw the small buds and just knew this would be the year. I went outside and just stood there... He came outside and said, “Uh.... you know what, I think it is a pale purple and maybe it will turn to yellow”. I won’t tell you the next few lines out of my mouth for fear of being banned. LOL! So, yes... I probably did hurt the Lilac’s sensitive feelings and sensibilities with my crass comments. Your alkaline clay is certainly a challenge to you... is there any sort of “regional” plant that does well or do you just go with pots?
