Just planted ours too, finally warm enough.Barbara Strobel Lardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314713622021695107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-29354191895726362762012-05-14T15:13:49.153-04:002012-05-14T15:13:49.153-04:00Hi Melody,

I remembered this after setting mine in the garden, so I'm going to top dress once the ground dries up. Isn't this rain lovely?Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733405000404218034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-53152025793575400802012-05-14T12:28:25.520-04:002012-05-14T12:28:25.520-04:00My dad loved Cherokee Purple and so do I!

We like them best when they still look just a little too green.<br /><br />Of course, your mileage may vary, there's no accounting for taste, and objects in the mirror may be closer than they look. <br /><br />Enjoy your garden!Rebecca Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494730619850791609noreply@blogger.com
