| Finished until the local nurseries open. I will pick up sales then. I have a new home so I am in the process of landscaping large areas.
These were great buys from various online vendors that are running early order sales. I think I did very good for 100.00 for all below. Do you set a budget? I have to because money is tight. I have all being delivered last week of March. So I have just 2 months to wait. I will start to look at my pics from last year and plan where they will go. This is what I have. Geranium Sweet Heidy
15 various Oriental, LA, Trumpet, Orienpet Bulbs.....
Now I have to start planning. I am doing it two ways. I have printed out pics of all the plants, and I have a visual garden planning program. How do you visualize your gardens when adding new plants? I am not usually this organized I usually order when they come run out and squeeze them in where ever I can find a spot. But since I do not have any real parent or job responsibilities I have more time, |

| "How do you visualize your gardens when adding new plants?" I have maps of every garden bed with every plant (except those that self-sow around) marked. It's very easy to keep updated as I add new plants. In any case, when I order new plants this time of year, I know in advance where they will go. Kevin |

| Budget? What's a budget? Never heard that term before. ;0) |

| Phew, I was worried there for a moment. I thought you meant your last order EVER! I haven't even placed my first order of the season yet... :) |

| rouge21 Thank you for the link. I was not expecting big things so whatever I get I will be satisfied. The first one I got did not survive the winter. This is being sent as a replacement for the one that died so this one is free. aachenelf mxk3...LOL I have had to put myself on a budget now that I am on a fixed income. That disposable income I had when I was working is not there now. diggerdee, You have to get going. Come on order something. I do not want to be the only crazy winter bird one. I do not think I will ever say it is my last order unless I am 6' under. I will probably ordering plants on my death bed. I do not like ordering too many plants online. If I can get them locally that is my first choice. The bulb selection online is always the best. |

| Bumping this up so see if anyone has anymore suggestions for dark leaf color Geraniums. With all the discussion of Havana Blue I am thinking I want to order some more geraniums. Although not a dark leaf geranium, it seems everyone loves Jolly Bee are there any others that are favorites. I do not mind sprawling. Thank you so much for the suggestions you all have made. I do appreciate your help. It is so helpful getting growers recommendations than what the vendors say you will get. |
