Pulling Weeds

I pulled weeds and dug, pulled weeds and dug.....One new flower bed is ready and the vegetable plot is almost ready. I planted some strawberry plants, new daylilies, onions and garlic. My local nursery doesn't have Abraham Darby (David Austin rose), sooo I may have to order it on-line. I did buy Graham Thomas (a yellow David Austin rose) to plant out by my clothes line (I'm not using it for clothes). This rose likes to climb so I thought it would make a good arbor. I read that strawberries do well amongst the daylily's and I planted garlic and onion around were the rose will be. We will see how this goes. I bought an assortment of tomato plants, red bell pepper, spinach, and corn plants. I also bought lots of flower seeds.

  1. Did you plant the corn, peppers and spinach yet? My corn was looking good last year then a hail storm ruined it all :-(

  2. No, I didn't get them planted yet. I'm not quite sure what to do with them. The lady at the nursery said not to plant them yet - but then why do they have them for sale - if you can't plant them???

  3. You can't plant until Your area's last frost, here it is around Apr 15, put them all where they get sun and keep watered, go online and look up instructions for planting each kind of plant for your area. I planted my corn from seed, didn't know they sold plants :-)
