Plant of the Day

Wednesday 11 September 2024

An easily grown annual Nemophila menziesii (baby blue eyes) is a relatively low growing plant that is covered all summer in blue-and-white, saucer-shaped flowers. It needs a sheltered, partially shaded position, and is great combined with other bedding plants in a container or at the front of a border.

Monkees Annuals

The Monkees Annuals: 1967, 1968, 1969

Uh, so, wouldn't it be wild if there was, say, a link that would take you to a google drive containing scans of all of these annuals. Obviously this would be a folder created solely for my own personal use... but perhaps accidentally left open to anyone who followed that link..? 👀

Crazy if true.

(Anyway, feel free to reblog/download/share with friends, but keep it lowkey so as not to flag it to anybody who might decide that this needs taking down.)

So.

Today two family members ill-advisedly took me to two separate garden centers and told me to go wild and get what I want for my containers this year as a birthday present. And well yeah, this happened.

People ask me all the time how my pots keep blooming from May till November. The answer is simple but not easy. They need water daily and feed every two weeks. We are religious about it. Take care of your annuals and they’ll take care of you for months. There’s no sense in spending money on a nice annual basket if you drop the ball in the middle of the summer when they need the most care. They love the heat but require daily attention.
