Outdoor Gardening

Lots of things to do in the spring, one is knowing when to plant and when to wait.

May 10th is my last frost date, passed down from my grandmother. She said you plant something

that comes up before then, you will be covering it up! Pop he said oh just use the almanac to plant and

weed and you will be okay.

This year I started the lettuce early. We had a spell of hot weather and that is all

I needed for good germination.

Such fun it is to grow your own veggies and so Healthy for you too.

Hope everyone joins me in Gardening this year and post their pictures of veggies and flowers and such.

Lettuce is 4 days old, the cages is to keep my dog from digging...lol

Lettuce is up , black seeded simpson, salad mix and crunch

Violets blooming, going to try them in salad tomorrow.

Replenished and cleaned up MY BEACH.......

Well, Cass planted a bunch of Hostas. A couple were fairly expensive ones. The Deer ate them. Since when do Deer eat Hostas?? That was an expensive salad for the Deer. The Rat Finks.

Pretty stuff, there Miss Sue. I plant a lot of veggies in plastic buckets but not near as pretty as yours. You must be a New Orleans Saints Fan, with your nice Lillies.

I agree, nothing like a fresh tomato!
