In fact, I ordered one last year, but it was delayed in the mail (actually it traveled around the country, seemingly forgotten) and was mush when it got to me. I have a Walker's Low catmint too, aren't they pretty? I need to put mine in the ground, the big container isn't doing it anymore. Maybe divide it and same some for the container. My in-ground planting would be where neighbor cats might smell it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592568959570035100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-5658643965804715572020-06-15T10:13:38.712-07:002020-06-15T10:13:38.712-07:00Anette, thanks so much for your kind words!

Last night my husband sprayed the whole garden with Neem oil to try to combat the root weevils, and this evening he's going to spray insecticidal soap (water, oil, dish soap) on the darn aphids. My son got out the ladder to deadhead lilacs this afternoon, and my daughter did a few garden chores today as well. So I am well supported. I'm grateful.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-75907912049337706642020-06-02T23:21:12.388-07:002020-06-02T23:21:12.388-07:00Nice Post!Nice Post!John Mooreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159424133590275269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-92018464494868320062020-06-01T04:59:48.629-07:002020-06-01T04:59:48.629-07:00As I read your post I was wondering how the Aspen...As I read your post I was wondering how the Aspen situation was going. So sorry to hear that it continues to be such a burden, along with the other garden woes. If I lived nearby, not on the East Coast, I would volunteer a block of time to help! So I must send thoughts of strength through the air to you. Can you feel them?

Thanks for the reminder. A kind lady from a gardening forum once sent me a whole bunch of her hellebore baby seedlings. I think of her every time I look and enjoy the beautiful early blooming flowers. :)Margaret @ Live Like No One Elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08021354768138940806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-70154855325905355782020-03-30T10:11:10.137-07:002020-03-30T10:11:10.137-07:00Dear Garry Higgins.

Maybe it's not a good choice for someone who struggles to keep up with deadheading, though.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-43647799326213088332020-02-20T15:09:07.118-08:002020-02-20T15:09:07.118-08:00Is this a variety that doesn't try to take ove...Is this a variety that doesn't try to take over the garden?
