Lists of 'cool season' vs. 'warm season' annuals?
Comments (2)Cool season annuals are those planted in early spring/early fall (in places with mild winters) and usually replaced by warm season annuals when it starts to get hot. They look the best when nights are in the 40s, but many are hardy (tolerate frosts) and some can make it through the summer.. they just won't look as good. The most common are: pansy, viola, sweet alyssum, linaria, diascia, nemesia, snapdragon, lobelia, bacopa, dianthus, cornflower, calendula, nasturtium, stock, poppies, ornamental kale and cabbage, sweet pea, argyranthemum, regal geraniums, dusty miller, primrose, larkspur and delphinium. Some of those might be perennials in you climate. The list of warm season annuals is endless and I could name hundreds, but they're basically all the annuals that weren't listed above. I just wanted to point that in late April you'll most likely use only cool season annuals, as it'll probably be too cold to the warm season ones get going.

Comments (47)Just wanted to address the picture (my pics) issue really quickly. I have often been accused of over-sharing on the internet. I live on a corner lot, so anyone who frequents this forum could probably drive by and recognize my garden. If a pedophile is lurking here, they could see my kids and perhaps figure out where I live. That does concern me somewhat, but I watch my kids like a hawk, and I think that a true pedophile has many more extensive and disgusting sources of phtos than my baby butt garden pics. I can't help but share pics of my garden and my kids, they are my biggest sources of pride and I just love to share. I know I am naive but I feel in my heart that most if not all gardeners are good folks. I trust this forum and I feel safe here. As for my grow list: I am going to try to grow Nematode Resistant plants when possible. I am scaling back this year as far as varieties for this reason. I am currently on a seed hunt for: Pole Beans: Poamoho or Alabama No 1 Bush Beans Monoa Wonder or Harvester Lima Bean Nemagreen Bell pepper charleston belle or carolina wonder Wando Peas My herbs, lettuces, spinach etc don't seem affected by RKN so I will again grow tons of them. I hope to grow around 20 Nematode resistant tomatoes (assorted). I cannot find any nematode resistant cucs, squash, or soybeans, so I am unsure what I will do for those or if I will just skip them this year. I'd also love to grow carrots and beets but last year both were a complete failure (tiny stunted crop). Jo...See MoreGrow List 2018
Comments (7)So i planted most of my peas today direct seeded. Just planted, did not water. If weather is good i will finish planting them tomorrow. Looks like i might be able to squeeze in a few more depending. I still need to plant the Nap Gene (potential open keel trait)* one. And i might be able to plant both Templeton's Delta Dusk and Heather maybe. I might also try to squeeze in those orc gene peas (orange cotyledons) that may have higher beta carotene. And that's basically it. Room for two more for sure, room for 4-5 more max. I planted these ones today shortest to tallest: Super Dwarf: Mighty Midget Orange-pod Short-ish: "Joseph's" Red Snap (last year my earliest variety other than super dwarfs) (perhaps it is time to rename this as it's not really Joseph's. only descended from his original work and highly selected by me for good red color. But i'm lazy so that is still my current unofficial name). [blank spot] Medium: Large Podded Wrinkled Seeds (selected from unknowns) Purple Passion hybrid* "Joseph's" Yellow-Podded (most wrinkled seeds)(perhaps it is time to rename this as it's not really Joseph's. only descended from his original work. But I'm lazy so that is still my current unofficial name). Jupiter [Blank Spot] TALL: Joni's Taxi Purples (most wrinkled seeds) True Mummys Biskopens Hybrids Heavily-Branched...See MoreMy first "pinch," of 2018 growing season...a Beer's Black.
Comments (15)Anna, Figs almost seem to have personalities like people. Some varieties are slow to grow, need to be stimulated, while others are bursting with energy and grow like weeds. Then there's a particular tree of a known very vigorous variety that just has no energy or motivation to thrive no matter what we do to nurture it. As much as I like my fig trees, there are no freeloaders tolerated. If after a reasonable amount of time, and after every effort is made to help it along, if a tree is a poor grower, it gets discarded....hard to do, but what else is there to do? You do have to give such figs time, though, sometimes a few years. Baby figs are like baby anything. They need TLC. It's best to start training a fig tree when it is a baby. It's easier to just rub off a emerging growth you don't want than prune it away when it is 3' long. Remember too, a fig tree is not the most balanced looking tree even with the most careful training. They seem to have a mind of their own regarding where a growth will emerge. I go along with them to some degree, as long as they don't look too lopsided. Enjoy your figs!
