Show Us Your Gardens - A Photo Thread - April 2018
Comments (25)Finally I have something to report on besides freezing daytime temperatures, and a kerria and kiwi plant both eaten down to stubs by starving rabbits. What a surprise it was to see that my trout lily bulbs, planted last fall, are up! Daffodils are not yet in bloom but are promising to bloom soon. Also they have spread quite a bit this year. (I like the colors in this perennial bed, filling in for the flowers during the off-season.) First day out for my started seeds (geraniums, cosmos, poppies, and tomatoes) under their "rain table" (because it's raining today). They spend nights on the back enclosed porch. And in the garage, my large pots are planted with marigolds, portulacas, petunias, dwarf snapdragons, coleus, and a "toothache plant" (foliage & flowers have a numbing sensation when chewed). Another gardenweb person once suggested this method of using a garden cart to wheel plants out into the sunshine during the day and back into the warmth of a garage at night in early spring, and I'm forever grateful for the idea. At last it feels like April. So nice to get my hands back into the dirt....See MoreNEWBIE SEED PROJECT - APRIL 2018
Comments (16)Hello, I would love for help with more seeds! I'm just starting out my garden. I bought a greenhouse and everything. I live in a cooler climate so the greenhouse is paramount. I love herbs, succulents, cacti, vines, trees, and flowers. I grow so veggies too. I love it all. I'm low on cash since I put all my money into the greenhouse and a raised bed. I am looking forward to trading with all of ya'll. Thanks!...See MoreJersey Snow Flakes - April 2018
