This plant is at least 6" diameter, much larger than the photo, and covered with buds and blooms. Semi-double to double white frilled star with mauve-pink edge. Dark green, serrated leaves with red back. Standard. Culture of African violets is specific but not difficult. The main concerns are listed here: SOIL – Pot into a mix of equal parts of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. "Violet" soils are not necessarily good for violets! Go by the ingredients, not the label! A bag of good soil should feel like a nice, fluffy, soft, pillow. Repot to freshen soil about every 6 months, but do not use larger than a 5 inch pot, and avoid deep pots. WATER – Use lukewarm water when soil feels dry to the touch. Water at the base without splashing, to avoid spotting foliage. LIGHT – Adequate light is important for good growth and bloom. Try to provide bright light, but not hot sun, for 8 hours each day (supplement if necessary). Turn pots regularly to keep flowers from reaching for the light. Or, place a two-tube fixture about 12-18" above plants for 12-13 hours a day. Under fluorescent light, plants may bloom continuously. FERTILIZER – A "balanced" formula is best, such as 15-15-15. Avoid "bloom boosters." Mix at one-quarter strength and use at every watering. Reduced flowering and paler leaf color indicate too little fertilizer. Pinch spent blooms to encourage the development of more flowers. TEMPERATURE - Generally violets prefer between 60-80 degrees, although they will tolerate somewhat out of this range. They like moderate humidity too. If you are comfortable, so are they. GROOMING - Do not allow extra crowns, or "suckers" to form. This will spoil that natural, flat, round appearance, and prevent it from blooming to its full potential. Most violets look and bloom best with about 3 to 4 rows of leaves.

This plant is at least 6" diameter, much larger than in the photo, and covered with buds and blooms. Great large prolific semi-double to double DEEP RED blooms on a standard size plant. Culture of African violets is specific but not difficult. The main concerns are listed here: SOIL – Pot into a mix of equal parts of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. WATER – Use lukewarm water that was allowed to stand for 48 hours to evaporate the chlorine. Water at the base without splashing foliage, to avoid spotting foliage. Keep evenly moist. LIGHT – Light affects flowering. Turn pots regularly to keep flowers from reaching for the light. Place 3 feet from a south- or west-facing window for the right winter lighting. In spring and summer, an east facing window is preferred. If this light cannot be maintained for eight hours, consider growing under fluorescent lights. FERTILIZER – Fertilize with a higher phosphorus (middle) number, as 15-30-15. Mix at one-quarter strength and use at every watering. Reduced flowering and paler leaf color indicate too little fertilizer. Pinch spent blooms to encourage the development of more flowers.

I have a variety of colors and textures of alpaca fleece, from cloud-soft baby fiber to sturdier old-gal fleece great for outerwear, rugs or similar use. Prices depend on quality and volume purchased - this listed price is a deposit, contact me for samples and colors/amounts/prices available. I have both skirted and unskirted fiber available - unlike sheep wool, alpaca doesn't need to be washed until the final product - it is so clean! Skirted fleece has had the short and lesser quality bits removed, along with the hay, pine needles, and occasional stick :)

Fall-blooming anemones will form a handsome 12" tall ground cover in light to partial shade in moist, humus-rich soil, and will tolerate full morning sun with sufficient moisture. They do not like wet feet. Mulch for the first winter. A hard frost will darken the foliage, which can either be removed or left for protection. Anemones are heirloom plants with a natural or wild-looking appearance that compliments shrubs such as rhododendrons & hydrangeas. Monkshood, baneberry, snakeroot, and hardy geraniums are excellent companions. Hostas, ferns, and ornamental grasses combine well with anemone foliage in summer.

Asters make terrific accents to fall gardens. They look great with ornamental grasses and the changing colors of the trees. They perform best in rich, evenly moist soil in full sun, but will also bloom well in partial shade. Be sure to give them lots of room to grow as good air circulation is vital to prevent powdery mildew. If pinched back in mid-July, the plants will be heavier blooming and probably will not need staking. This one is covered with hundreds of daisy-like pink flowers in late summer, putting on a spectacular show through fall. You can remove spent flowering stalks with pruners or scissors. The healthy dark green foliage has a compact mounding habit and is very resistant to mildew. Side dress aster plants each fall with a light dressing of compost or similar organic fertilizer.

These reusable shopping bags are made from woven plastic feed sacks. I choose sacks with nice pictures, and cut and sew them into a sturdy bag with handles. The bags vary slightly in size and shape, about 15" wide and 14" tall, and the bottom is sewn approximately 6-8" wide to easily accommodate lots of items. The straps can comfortably sling over a shoulder, and these bags are very sturdy! If you have a preference for a particular bag pictured, contact me for availability or custom sewing.

This heavy bloomer gets its name from the way each flower bud swells before its starry petals unfold. Balloon flowers are one of the easiest perennials you'll ever grow, and they bloom in profusion in mid to late summer, when many other perennials are beginning to fade. The plants form a low, neat mound and bear 2- to 3-inch cuplike blossoms. Balloon flowers are a cottage garden standard, excellent for cutting. To make the flowers last in the vase, sear the stems with a match or candle flame immediately after cutting. They thrive in full sun or light shade in well-drained garden soil. They appreciate a little afternoon shade in zones 7-8. You won't find a more carefree perennial! Just work a little slow-release fertilizer into the soil in spring, and pick off the flowers as they fade to encourage more blooms. Moderate drought conditions aren't a problem, but it helps to water the plants deeply when the soil dries out too much or if drought conditions persist. Balloon flowers are seldom bothered by insects, and they are very cold-hardy. Plan the plant's position carefully and mark it to avoid weeding it out in early spring, for spring growth is late to appear.

Penstemons come from areas with rough growing conditions and should never be exposed to wet or damp earth. A thin, rocky soil in full sun is best. Penstemon species are often used in xeriscape landscaping, as many are native to desert or alpine regions and thus quite hardy. Native Americans long used Penstemon roots to relieve toothache. Foliage is evergreen in warmer climates. Tubular flowers are in clusters atop strong stems, somewhat like foxglove, and blooming from spring into summer. Plants are best set out in groups so that a mass of flowers is in view. Cut back each stem after flowering to a place just above a set of leaves that show new growth. You may get another flowering later in the summer or early fall. Wait until all chance of a freeze is over, then cut back your penstemon, leaving stems that are just 6 inches long. This way, the plant will bush out and have a more compact form.
