The color blue doesn't appear in plants that often. What some call blue is really purple, but here are a few (besides roses) that most greenthumbs would recognize.
Lepplady I hope you are able to grow something this year, if even some tomatoes in a pot. That's what I'm doing. I have two tomato plants that are averaging 6-8 tomatoes at a time. Am I the only one that loves the smell of their dark, crumpled leaves? Vaguely reminiscent of marigolds.
kingricefan Do you still have your purple Clematis? My grandmother had them in the corner of her yard and it crawled up the wooden lattice which covered her swing. She also had yellow lantana and peach cabbage roses which she'd pick for centerpieces to cluster with her gardenias.
HollyGolightly How difficult is it to grow broccoli? Besides going to war with slugs, two beers in each hand. LOL.
I love broccoli and want to grow some and some cucumbers, too. My grandfather has more than enough cukes but I still would enjoy the fun of harvesting them.
