down to my last 2 dozen plants to plant

11 years ago

Today I planted out the last of my purple coneflower, yellow coneflower, pyrethrum, shasta daisy and sunset hyssop. I have elijah blue fescue, some calamintha and a few other odd bits left that will go out this week and then everything will be planted. This year I really have to focus on some yard maintenance so am going to try avoid buying any other plants. (yeah right!) My winter sown tomatoes are showing tiny pea-sized tomatoes and lots of flowers so I will definitely winter slow tomatoes again next year.

I probably have at least 75-100 milk jugs left to plant plus 15-20 flats of annuals that I sprouted in my green house. Then there are all my pelergoniums that I wintered over and the plants I brought home from a couple of plant trades. Believe it or not I'm about 2/3 of the way done. I'm not planting this much seed again! Yea, right.

You got tomatoes? Kool...! I got about 13 jugs left. But now I have a rabbit problem. He meticulously dug in my mish-mash bed and ate all the sweet pea sprouts. Yet, he has not eaten the other sprouts (Zinnia's, Sunflowers, etc.)
