Well, if it grows and looks good, who cares?
Remember the old saying - if it feels good, do it?
I've seen that two-toned one many times - I just called them big daisies.
About what you said about hoping to have a spectacular garden next summer . . . I was at Etienne Brule Park last weekend and an Italian girl was there (she was 30 something, I guess). She was also deadheading. Her family was trying to get her to come away and go home but she said 'no, I've got to get
seeds'.
I said her 'oh, I do that too'. She said 'listen, I do my whole garden this way - right now? I see. In
spring - I have.'
I'm never buying another
plant, I said to Jeff.
I've heard that before, Jeff said to me.
Ha ha!
