Getting Ready to Plant


 
The weather is getting warmer, and it is time to think about the garden.
 
 
My former high school marching band is having a flower sale, but you have to be careful when buying plants unseen. You don't know what you are going to get. One year I remember on of the flats of red impatients was more like peppermint candies, since they had red and white stripes on the petals instead of being completely red. So if you were dead set on red impatients, you'd have to hope that flat went to someone else.
 
We know we would like to do more perrenials this year. Plants that will last for several years and we aren't purchasing new each year. So, we are waiting for the nurseries in the area to open again for the season so we can go check out the plants and see what we would like.
 
We think we would also like to plant some vegetables. This will help with the grocery bill and allow us to eat fresh foods.
 
What are you planning in your garden this year? Please leave your plans in the comments.
