It's that time of year. Recently I went to the local nursery for cucumbers but the ones they had been damaged in a recent frost. Here's what's been planted so far.

Veggies
Green and red peppers
Celery
Tomatoes
Green beans

For flowers I was thinking hydrangeas but I'm not sure what else to put with it.

Bumping because we are back to that time of year again!


What is everyone planting/planning this year? Is anyone having any garden themed parties?

Ooo, yay! I'm glad you bumped this!

I'm concentrating on fragrant plants this year so we can sit on the porch or deck and smell wonderful things! So far, I've put in lavender and have cut back the roses and rosemary and I've got more roses, sweet peas, daphne, and jasmine to put in.

We're also going to plant several different annuals for cut flowers. Marigolds usually have a really strong smell that a lot of people don't like but I'm potting up a bunch to put in my classroom next fall so that my students can experience one of the smells of Mexico's Day of the Dead. (I'd burn some copal incense too but might get fired for it, lol.)

We have seeds started for:

Moonflower
Marigold
Zinnia
Shasta Daisy
Iceland Poppy
Sweet Pea
5 kinds of lettuce
Zucchini
yellow squash
tomatoes
4 kinds of peppers
Cosmos
Echinacea
container eggplant
Snap Peas
Cucumber
Parsley
Stevia
two kinds of Petunia
moss rose
black eyed susan
roma beans
lobelia

I will probably start the sunflowers this week.

We planted a lilac bush and are hoping to add one or two more rose bushes. I think we got all the trees planted now. The grapes, blackberries, gooseberries, red currant, and strawberries are coming back strong. I am worried about the blueberries and raspberries though.
