    as we dig them up. Unless of course you want to fill a bed with them - they will do that. They are best in a hanging pot where you can let the "babies" dance in the air and look pretty. Does nicely outside in the summer and winter if you have no snow.

Growing your own celery

This is a little project I am trying out. Growing my own celery from store bought remains. Seems to be working so far!

Gardening: Anyone know the name of this flower?

Yesterday after the landscapers finished clearing the back of our lot, this flower was left standing all by itself. Does anyone know what it is? It is along at the top of the over 2 foot stem, but I believe I can see another unopened bud about 1/2 way down.

Gardening: Mystery beauty

What is this plant? My husband attended a banquet today and these were used for the decoration. Apparently the sponsors didn't want them back because he came home with 3 of them. I love the color and lushness. Is it Kalanchoe?
