Christie I know you had some ws plants and I think Helen said something about it as well.
I still have about 40 more to set out.
I am going to try to put in a new bed this weekend and get them in it asap.
I also just started some seed for a few more annuals.
I am going to direct sow my sunflowers. But I try to wait until the end of may so the rains let up an not rot the seeds. My grandchildren would not think it is my house w/o sunflowers.
A note to self... plant all sunflowers far away from the house this year. To keep the squirrels from using them as a climbing post to the roof of my house. lol
I can hardly wait until next year. Since I am putting in all of the perennials this year they should be nice come next year. I really want some color in my yard come next spring. With out a trip to the box store for annuals. : )

Bonnie -- I just wish I had them all out. Tomorrow, the tomato plants go in and hopefully other plants which have definitely reached the End Of Their Patience (for sure) --

I planted a few silene and a few stokes asters but most of them are still in the containers. I must have about 50 silene seedlings but they're under a half inch tall. They're not growing at all. The ones I planted last week look ok so I think I'll just put them in the ground somewhere and see if they start growing.
My paw paw seeds never sprouted but maybe they still will. My lettuce and other greens are embarrassing. They sprouted but they're not really growing. My dad has given me a couple gallon ziplock bags of lettuce he got from his garden. Next time I'll try them in the gound instead of containers. I planted two each of five different kinds of cherry tomatoes a week or two ago and still have the rest to put out. I have sunflowers to direct sow too Bonnie. I see some sunny days in the forecast so I will try to do that this weekend sometime. Melons as well. |

| I have many plants waiting for places. I am getting to the point of just needing to stick them in somewhere because they are declining. They aren't all winter sown; most were in the house under lights. |

I have plants sitting on the kitchen counters, the dining room table lol, was going to get them out and we keep getting forecasts of HAIL! It looks calm for the coming week so hopefully all will get a home then.
I do have a lot out...dahlias, petunias, cosmos, geraniums, various other annuals and I've put out some perennials, couple mauve colored calla lillies etc. |
