Planting Autumn Crocus (Colchicum)
I don't believe I have ever grown autumn crocus ( colchicum - I love to say that word) - although we did inherit one when we moved into this house. I moved it, and apparently it did not like that because I never saw it again. I have always wanted to grow it, but I always think about it at the wrong time of year. Plus, I never see it at nurseries (not even at Yard N' Garden Land). When a friend offered me some, I said YES. She gave me one special one called "Waterlily" and several that I guess we would call the "average one". 'Waterlily' The question then was where on earth would I would plant them. I read that they are nice in grassy areas so I then decided to plant them along the grassy pathway in front. (This pathway is about to become a gravel pathway as I am refusing to water it daily. Michael wins this battle and gets to do the "told you so" dance .) I decided to tuck the primo one at the corner of the path next to this pot. Diggin...
Ha! So glad you weren't at a loss as to where to eat!
ReplyDeleteOne word: YUM!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks good and interesting and fun. I could hang out there for several days eating and looking and be happy as anyone could be.
ReplyDeleteif you have the chance to come back to the durham chapel hill area, I'll point you to lots of great places to eat! How was the ceviche, you didn't say whether you liked it?
ReplyDeleteNever a dull meal there I see. All of those food trucks remind me of carnivals here. Gosh, this post made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! We ate at the food trucks in one part of town when we were in Portland a couple of months ago. Best meal I had all weekend, I think.
ReplyDeleteWe had such a good time there with you Phillip.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks colorful and yummy, but I probably would have had a cheeseburger!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I think I read on FB that next years fling is in Portland. You have a head start since you toured many places there already.
ReplyDeleteCarol, it is. I didn't know that until a few weeks before I went out there. I hope to be able to attend. Are you going?
ReplyDeleteEating out, especially with friends who know the good places, is one of the best parts of a vacation. The only trouble is that I usually end up a few pounds heavier than when I left home.
