Skipthisone used to love this time of year...when you get to map out what you hope to grow in the garden and in some places even start your seeds.



Got any grand plans for your graden this year???

I'm focusing primarily on flowers and herbs this year. I'll plant a trellis with cow peas, some tomatoes and peppers just to get me by but I am avoiding the aggravation of more. Although I have to say, with the drastic rise in grocery costs I am seriously wishing I had a greener thumb.

I've already fertilized the irises and am cleaning the beds now for the upcoming shows. If the IRS doesn't take everything
I MIGHT actually get to have a garden again this year.

Some of the gardenia bushes I planted last year have not survived so they will be replaced, with what I'm not sure yet. Then I have pots that need to be filled, last year I did begonias that grew from March to about November and looked wonderful the whole time... Since my house is going up for sale in about a month I won't be doing more than necessary to give it a nice drive up appeal.

Hell, I just hope I win somethin this year. The rules are stricter and tougher competition.

My garden is still under 2 ft of snow. It is safe to plant here after the May long weekend - mid May. So I have not thought much about it yet.

Damn by the end of May my irises are just about finished blooming by then.
Our last killing frost date is April 15th. But we can plant cold weather crops now.(peas)
And potatoes are always planted on St. Pattys day.
