New Plants in Doug's Garden


These are some of the new plants that I'm growing in my garden. I report on how they grow and flower right here.  Like all things on the Net, this page will develop and grow as the number of plants I start reporting on grows.

Also I hope you'll add your own plant trials in the form below.  We can all benefit from seeing what grows well in our  gardens.

Feel free to add all plants - from annuals to trees - that you can tell us about.

Perennials


Fall 2006 Planting - Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction'

Annuals


Spring 2007


Tell us how your garden plants performed

Got a new plant? New to you? New to the gardening world? Want to tell us about it - how it grew (or didn't grow) so we'll all get the story about each of these plants.

Tell us what you liked about it - what you didn't like.

Where you grew it - give us all the dirt. :-)

Show us a picture too! (we all love pictures)
