What's John's Recipe?

Funny that Bleeding Heart is a weed to you. I guess it's all relative. Vanillalotus has pictures of some beautiful Morning Glory on her blogspot blog. What's crazy is that if it were growing in my yard, I'd rip it up. To me Morning Glory is a weed! :)

It's more its location than its species. I've planted it on purpose before, but I need it out of my herb garden! Nothing else has a chance if I let it keep going.

Bob, John's Recipe is my current favorite liquid fertilizer:

I believe Aaron uses a fish emulsion insecticide and it works great!

I wish I could magically transfer your unwanted bleeding hearts to my yard. :) I dunno why but its been one of my favorite plants to observe this spring:

Aaron says its because it got destroyed by the frost last spring and that I'm making up for not seeing it last year. My bleeding heart also has a little bit of sentimental value to me...being that I bought it for cheap from a place that had it on the sidewalk with a sign in it that said "rescue me." I was pretty excited that I brought it back to life.

ah hah! I figured out that what I have is actually called PURPLE Heart (aka Wandering Jew). It was mislabeled at the nursery.

Sorry for the confusion :)

Rebecca just picked one of those up at the Wytheville Garden Festival.

Being children of the Politically Correct movement, we figured "Wandering Jew" simply could not be acceptable. Sure enough, it appears to be a less-than-pleasing moniker.

There's the "Wandering Jew" folklore:

Our own database claims ours to be more acceptably called a "Purple Queen".
