Gardening or Yard tips

[honeychile]

My parents were avid gardeners, and when I bought my house, they told me to make a list of the plants & bushes I liked, and see which grew in what season. Once I did that, we decided the colors and needs for each and went from there. I had awesome spring gardens, and low maintenance for the other seasons.

If you can list some of the plants you like - for your area! - then you'll be ahead of the game before hitting the gardening stores.

FWIW, my spring gardens started early, but lasted until mid June. There are so many hybrids of tulips, daffodils, etc that you can do that more easily than 20 years ago!

Yeah, a list would make shopping easier. I didn’t think about that. Will do.

Thanks, honeychile

So, Phrozen Sands, what are you planting?

So far I’ve started with some hostas, geraniums, and I decided to try a little gardening, so I bought some tomato plants too. The sales person told me that geraniums come back every year. He told me when the season ends, I can put them in a box or bag and then replant them again the following season. Apparently, they’ll come back? I haven’t put anything in the ground yet though. I’m doing that this weekend. Everything is still in their little holders they came with. I’m excited to see how the tomato plants will turn out.

I seriously can see this turning into a hobby of mine.
