Subject: Did anyone plant this weekend?
I broke my own rule because the weather has been mild
I have planted verbena, begonias, osteospermum, diascia, geraniums, lobelia, ageratum, nierembergia, scavoela, alyssum, browalia, coleous and dusty miller.

I don't forcee another freeze here in NY and the plants have been hardened off enough they should be ready.

Yet to plant: Gazanias, madevilla, wave petunias
They're a little more tender

So how does your garden grow?

Subject: Is it raining everywhere?
Just in time for Mother's day and planting season, those of us in the northeast are looking forward to over a week of rain.
I really dislike gardening in the rain...but, the plants actually love it. In fact, optimum conditions for planting anything is during cloudy weather. There is less shock to the plant when the skies are grey.

Foxy Lady:

You are right...today we had a surprise visit of the sun. I was able to plant up some things in my mother-in-law's garden in between showers. Lucky!
And she loved it. I pulled out 3 overgrown rose bushes and transplanted them for her to another area. Then I put in 3 trellises with clematis, along with blue salvia, rose pentas, tricolor sweet potatoe vine, pink shades gazania and white sweet alyssum. It's going to be very pretty for her all summer

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies!

What is the difference between a gardenia plant and gardenia bush? I received a plant for Mother's Day and wondered if I should plant it outdoors!
