Keep wanting to post pics, but not enough energy left at the end of the day! lol (And no sun...which my device needs.)
But I'm excited enough at today's plant finds that I have enough energy to type! So...given the frosty, wet spring several of my well intentioned seed starting plans fell to the wayside. I didn't want to start a bunch of seed varieties and have no sun or heat which would prevent me from putting them outside - which was exactly what happened. Just too many problems with this years weather. So lots didn't get started.
But today at a greenhouse I haven't gone to in many years I found a few gems - some nicely established celeriac plants for one! Been wanting to grow those for awhile and thought this year would be yet another miss. But no! Also some peach coloured double flowering hollyhocks & Osaka ornamental cabbages. Wowee!
Going to rain all weekend but I'm hoping to still get out there and shape the backyard beds in a raincoat. Then I can at least get in the cold tolerant crops like potatoes etc. And the funnest part of all is around the corner, figuring out where everything goes!!! And trying to make it look all pretty!
