Hyacinths For Kathy

Do you think I can grow these Hyacinths from Breck's? I ordered these last Fall and planted them. They are zone 5 hardy, so I'm really hoping that they come up this Spring. And Kathy, I had no idea that you liked them, I think I actually got "Bluebells" so I'll take some pics when they bloom for you. I LOVE Spring flowers and I'm totally hoping that I can have a green thumb like my mom.

(Dear Lord, she can grow Bee Balm and Lilies like no one else's business... I'll take pics of when they all bloom later this year!!)

But I need more ground cover in the front so I think I'm going to turn to Hostas for the front gardens (which are in the shade) and maybe some morning glories and then I need a trellis for them to climb on.

I never realized how much fun gardening is!

Unfortunately we just don't get enough sun for a veggie garden, so unless we have a huge storm and a neighbor's tree falls, then we may have one. At least my compost pile doesn't stink (and they're not supposed to, they're supposed to smell "Earthy," whatever that means... just make sure you have enough leaves to cover the stink of rotting veggies!!!)

Lilies-of-the-valley are also shade flowers!

What's Bee Balm? I'm gonna Google it to find out.

Good luck with the flowers!

Hi Patty!
I'm going to get some bee balm this summer at Farmers Market.
