Well we've moved! So I have been very busy starting an all new Cheesehead Garden.<br />
First, let's rewind to the selling process. So many people people tried to tell me that I would not be able to take any of my plants with me. It's simply not true, at least here in Wisconsin. However, you do have to let your sellers know before you even put your house for sale. I stated that I would be taking 25% of the perennials with me. In the end my buyer wanted no plants, so I was able to take 100% of my plants with me.<br />
I had to dig up all my plants in April and May when most weren't even up yet. So as much as I had things labeled, I still have some that were mislabeled and some I have no clue about. I put them in pots, pails, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and fabric plant pots. Basically anything that would hold a plant. We had a great realtor who let me keep my 600+ plants at their house until we were ready to move.<br />
So we moved at the very end of May. It took me until a week or two ago to put all my plants in the ground. I did have a little set back in July when my gallbladder decided it absolutely, positively must come out. So now I just have to weed and mulch and I'll be done for this year. <br />
It's a work in progress right now, but I am very excited about what it will look like in a few years.<br />

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
If you haven't heard, we sold our house and are moving. The person who bought our house wants all plants and landscaping removed. So the hostas are dug up, and I have divided what I could. The good news is I can bring my plants with me to my new house where I will have almost an acre. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Plant sale will be from 9am-1pm on Saturday. Hostas and other plants will be $5, $10, or $15. Most are just nubs right now, so you kind of have to know your hostas. There are plants still left in the ground that are free for the digging (not hostas -Mostly daylily, joe pye weed, and ground covers.)</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

I collecting them in fall, and kept them in paper envelopes until now. Just a note that hosta seeds do not come true from seed. So they will not look like the parent plant (unless it's ventricosa).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then prepare my planters. It's best to use a soil less potting mixture, as soil can contain fungus and bacteria. I like the planters at Menards like come with the coir mixture you add water to. It's been successful for me for a few years.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then sprinkle the hosta seeds on top of potting mixture and gently push them into the soil or add a very small amount of soil on top of the seeds. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then cover them with the plastic dome (you can also use plastic wrap or bags when getting the seeds started). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The seeds do not need light to germinate, so I just make sure to put them somewhere warm until they start to germinate. I make sure they are damp (not wet) during this time. Once they start to germinate I put them under grow lights (you can just use fluorescent bulbs).</div>

If you love hostas, and you have not signed up....what are you waiting for? Here is more information about the convention: http://greenandgoldhosta.org/2014-convention.html<br />
<br />
The convention is a great opportunity to visit hosta gardens, shop hosta vendors, participate in a hosta auction, perhaps submit some leaves for the leaf show, and the best part is meeting people who love hostas.<br />
<br />
I will be one of the optional gardens on Sunday, so if you are signed up for the convention please stop by!<br />

So I thought I would give it a try in my hosta beds this year. I think the pine straw will keep the slugs out of the hosta beds. Pine straw is pretty hard to find in this area. I actually had to order mine, which didn't make my Fed Ex driver very happy. It was much easier to spread around than bark mulch I usually put down. I am just wondering how well it will stay down in fall when having to rake leaves out of the beds. I'll keep you updated.<br />

This past week I once again visited the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. I was so excited to visit, since Dale Chihuly currently has a display at the garden. For anyone who follows me, you know I LOVE Dale Chihuly glass art! I even had a dream one night that Dale Chihuly decided to tutor me in the making of glass art. I think the best time to book a time to visit the garden is between 4-8pm, when you can see the art by day and by night. I think it looks magnificent by night! The display will be at the gardens through May 18th. So if you have a way to visit the gardens, I highly recommend it! Here are a few pictures of Chihuly by day and by night.</div>

To get to the state park I rode the Palm Springs aerial tramway up 6,000 feet. The tram takes about 10 minutes to get to the top and slowly rotates so you don't miss any views. The park has great views of Palm Springs, the San Andreas fault, etc.<br />

I did actually venture out today to go pick up some groceries. I've lived in Wisconsin that at first it didn't seem that cold. Then after being in the grocery store for at least 15 minutes I realized that that my jeans were still pretty much frozen from the quick walk from the car to store. Yikes!<br />
<br />
So here are some pictures to help us remember warmer days!<br />

I have pictures on 2 different computers and a phone. So this will probably end up being a 3 parter. I really need to learn to just put my pictures into a shared drive. So here is the best of 2013 part 1.<br />

Once the cold weather starts to creep in and I can no longer be outside gardening I go into my winter slump. I am also extremely busy at work in the fall, so that keeps me away as well. So I hope no one was worried about me, I'm still here! I do post more often on my Facebook page : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cheeseheadgardening%C2%A0" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/cheeseheadgardening </a><br />
<br />
So the new year is coming upon us, time to start thinking about resolutions. I've been thinking about my garden resolutions. I don't want to be to unrealistic. I really could thin out my hosta collection, but am I really going to do that?????? NO. So this year I am going to try to commit to starting some of my seeds earlier. If you follow my blog or my Facebook page you know I LOVE Japanese morning glories. The problem is that they usually start blooming for me late summer about the time I go back to work. So I want to start them inside early this year so I can enjoy them earlier in the summer.<br />
<br />
What are your gardening resolutions?<br />

Smoke Bushes are very popular with the most popular being the Royal Purple Smoke Bush. They add a great purple color to any landscape. The Smoke Bush I planted by my garage annoys my husband to no end. I told him when I planted it that it would only grow to be about 5 feet. Well little did I know that every summer it would grow to over 9 feet tall. So to please him I have to let him get out the loppers once a year for a massive hair cut. I have found the best time to trim the Smoke Bush is in late fall. When trimmed in late fall the Smoke Bush will still flower in spring. Then it grows another 5 feet over the summer and the whole cycle begins again.</div>

Looking to add tiger lilies to your garden? Well an easy way to is to find a friend who has tiger lilies and is willing to give you some of the stem bulbils. Bulbils are usually mature in fall. If you can see roots starting to form at the bottom of the bulbils then they can be harvested. In Wisconsin you can take them right off the plant and plant them into the ground (about an inch or so). You can also put them in a paper bag and place them in the refrigerator for about a month. Then you can start them inside for spring planting. The plants I have started from bulbils usually take about 3 years before they actually produce a flower.</div>

I was walking by my swamp milkweed plants the other day and noticed them covered in something yellow. Upon closer inspection I saw the yellow "dots" moving, and realized that I had milkweed aphids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rather than use chemicals to get rid of them, I prefer to spray them with the water hose. It knocks them off the plant, but keeps any monarch eggs safe. I have also used a cotton swab to remove them from the plants. If the aphids keep returning you can also take a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to them. It is tedious but kills them on contact.</div>

Tuesday night our area was hit pretty hard by a storm. We lost power at our house for about 36 hours, but there are still people without power today (Friday) as I write this. We did not have any storm damage at our house. We thought a big branch broke off of our tree, but it turned out it was a branch from a neighbor's tree who lives two houses away. It was eventually confirmed that 5 tornadoes came through our area that night. Thankfully their were no fatalities from the storm. I can honestly say I have never seen lightning like it before in my life. It was continuous, like a flashbulb just kept going off over and over again.</div>
