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.......

Sunday I dug holes. If it stops raining the Azaleas will go in them. Cass keeps coming up with ideas. How do I stop her?

I have been planting vegtables, peppers, herbs, peach trees and a few flowers this spring. Big job but my girls have been helping. I have to keep the flowers going, my would have wanted that. I hope this year to have better luck with the Cantelopes and Water Mellons.

Yeah, that seems to be the rule of thumb over the years.

Going to get new landscaping timbers. Saturday we have 10 yards of mulch coming. I can see myself now laying in the yard writhing in pain. But that's ok, I'm sacrificing myself for the cause.
