I have been crazy busy in the yard that I have forgotten to write! Anyway, since my tulips have bloomed I have planted all my vegetables - and I think some a bit early - the edamame didn't really make it so I cut it back but it looks ok now - I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
I have planted my scallions and chives (grown from seed) out in the garden and around my rose bushes respectively. My window boxes and hanging baskets are all planted and this year I went with purple and white - hanging petunias, calibrocha, dusty miller and a few others. So far they are looking pretty good and it is only May!
The back garden is coming up nicely. The edelweiss took and bloomed though I though I would get more than one flower per plant, but maybe it is because they are newly planted.
I seem to have lost a few columbines, as they haven't come up yet, but maybe those three are slow to grow. The other columbines I have are looking pretty nice. One of my Christa's already has a bud.
I started using Neptune's seaweed fertilizer on my garden plants. I added it just this past weekend and will do it, as directed, every 2-3 weeks.
I was getting some serious leaf eating on my rose bushes so I applied some Crop Guard that I bought from Arbico. The spray is made with garlic and yucca and you mix with water to rid aphids, mealy worms, cut worms, etc from plants. So far in the past week since applying it I haven't seen one leaf damaged - and I have TONS of blooms!
I cannot wait for everything to come up to share the pictures.
