Planting has begun!
Gardening season is beginning. This past week after coming back from vacation, I picked up some live plants that probably had been sitting at the post office for a week. Hopefully they are very hardy and will survive. I planted Bellflowers and Johnson's Blue Geraniums. How is that for a nice name for a flower! And it's my favorite color! Tonight, I planted some potatoes. Last year we had planted some potatoes from old potatoes from the year before. I read that you will get better production if you start with fresh "tubers" so I ordered some and put them in. The test will come later I guess. I also have onion sets and garlic to plant - I may run out of room this year. The seeds have arrived too and haven't had time to even look at those. Hopefully this weekend will be good weather and the bugs won't be too bad so some of them can go in. I still will wait until Memorial Day to put in the tomatoes and anything else that can't take the frost. Happy planting everyone!
