![]() ![]() ![]() HViola, I grew up in South Texas -- my mom would tell me if those bugs got into the pots, you just need to throw out the soil and get all new potting soil for them. Or maybe the bugs came up from the ground or area the pot is sitting on. A small sprinkling of 7-Dust under the pot usually keeps the bugs out. Last edited by MyLadies; 03-18-2009 at 07:40 AM. | |

| ![]() Hviola! I love your updates! My tomato plants have bloom sprouts!!! They have not yet bloomed, but I think they will in a few days! It's so neat that you started your own plants from seeds. I bought mine from the nursery, I'm not as hardcore as you!!! LOL!

| ![]() My ground is totally dig-able! (no frozen spots, just some unmelted snow in one pile which I just kicked apart and hope it melts). Yesterday I bought a pack of 2 Shrub Roses and planted those this morning. I know roses do good here because there are some existing ones that were just beautiful prior to winter. Temps should be in the low 50's this week. ![]() Also I got a bunch of seeds. Yellow Squash, Cabbage, Green Beans, Basil. I also want to grow onions but didn't get any yet. So now... since this is a new place for me - I am figuring out the prior garden layout. I can see at least 3 rows, & can make more I think, and am working on chopping & turning the dirt to prepare for whatever I put there. I do know exactly where my Basil is going. Now, I figured I better come in and have lunch before I pass out. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() For the spring veggies, like onions, wait until the night temps are at least a constant 40 and up. Im planning on waiting until the first week of April.

| ![]() Hi! I have been gardening for 30 years. I live near lake Ontario in NY. I am not sure how far away you are from me. Visit your local nurseries and library.Do some reading. You can plant your beds accordingly. Is it shady, or does it have sun all day, is it dry, moist, or rocky? Certain perennials spread like wildfire and need to be contained. I add a few annuals for color, and to help keep the bugs away from my veggies etc. in particular marigolds. Every year I thin out plants and give them away. I have spent the last 15 years at my present home planting perennial beds so that it is less work and that something is usually in bloom. I also use mulch. I have included 2 spring pics from the front yard, last spring. My gardens start from the mailbox and go up and around the back of the house. I also have fruit trees, berries, vegetable and asparagus gardens. All on one acre. I am putting in a small 125 gal. pond and a new garden this year. You are more than welcome to come and visit and take some plants home. |

| ![]() The purple and white are phlox, or as I knew them as a kid, mountain pinks. They come in white, purple and pink. You can get them anywhere. They like poorer soil and are used in rock gardens. You can buy a bigger plant and separate it before you plant. It only takes a year or two and they creep and spread. They only bloom in spring. In my backyard I have an herb garden on one side of my deck, the other side is a hummingbird/butterfly garden. I keep adding to my gardens every year to make them as easy to care for as possible. ![]() |
