You're the second person I know to get one of the topsy-turvey planters. <br /><br />Your daylily is so pretty, love the colors. I wish I had a good spot for the gooseneck loosestrife. I think people are becoming too obsessed with the term 'aggressive' plants. They want everything to remain in a 2 foot round clump forever;) I'd like to plant something under the maple trees but I doubt it would even grow let alone become aggressive.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-80470251641367019882009-07-03T10:24:11.935-04:002009-07-03T10:24:11.935-04:00I too like the long spell of cool weather we'v...I too like the long spell of cool weather we've had, but my tomatoes decidedly do NOT! Purple looseftrife is officially invasive here, but gooseneck is not--it does spread, but it is pretty controllable with ripping out. Maybe it spreads more aggressively in warmer climates.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-76676546367299981992009-07-03T09:34:48.597-04:002009-07-03T09:34:48.597-04:00Lisa, your garden looks so inviting-as always!

They are described as 'half hardy annuals, flowers the same year as sown'. I would think we could collect the seeds for next year or maybe it will self sow?? Mine are looking just about like yours. <br /><br />I love the spider daylily! We need to make a trip to the daylily farm again. :) <br /><br />Hope you and DB have a wonderful 4th!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-26664545067111970322009-07-02T23:50:38.224-04:002009-07-02T23:50:38.224-04:00Hi Lisa, I'm guessing the mystery plant is an ...Hi Lisa, I'm guessing the mystery plant is an annual aster, it looks like the ones that self sew in my garden.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503096710901190795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-70442214898002644992009-07-02T23:23:58.156-04:002009-07-02T23:23:58.156-04:00Lisa everything looks so nice.

I don't think I did. <br /><br />You asked me about replanting the trees on my recent post and I'm not planning on it. My yard is not very large and now that things are beginning to grow, it would have been too crowded for them anyway.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating the Fourth!Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-49990114936807254022009-07-02T20:17:16.280-04:002009-07-02T20:17:16.280-04:00Oh, it's cool here too - strangely!

I'd be enjoying the cooler temperatures too if I could sit outside without becoming a mosquito buffet. I think your success with the Loosestrife is probably due to the dry shade. It's such a neat plant, I should probably give it a try. (Dry shade I've got.) Sorry I can't ID your mystery plant. I'm making a note of the name of that Daylily - it's wonderful.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-18457118168436912832009-07-02T17:19:09.138-04:002009-07-02T17:19:09.138-04:00I am loving this cool weather, too, Lisa!

By the way, my ferns are looking terrific! I thought several of them had died after I got back from Spring Fling, but they have made a miraculous recovery:) Have a happy Fourth!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
