tuangels

we hadly have any snow left here ...lol!!!

Here either...one of the benefits of living in the Valley,lol.   but I do have lots and lots of mud!!!

argghhh, thought I got them planted deep enough...maybe the ground heaved...followed the planting directions...not looking forward to replanting them, but will if I must...hope some of them will get a chance to bloom  

While out enjoying the sun this afternoon, I noticed that my tulips are starting to poke their little selves out of the ground.  It is too early for this right?  I am afraid that all my backbreaking work last fall will amount to stunted or frozen stems, not the glorious, drifts of tulips that I envisioned....is there anyhing I can do, or will Mother Nature just have to take her course?

Speaking of cannas, Petee the canna that I bought from your summer sale is gettiong ready to bloom(been watching and waiting all summer!) I know that it is late in the year and soon to frost, my question is when should I dig it up for next year?  It is going to bloom beautifully if we don't get a hard frost soon(praying that we don't!) and I want to be able to plant it next year again, so should I wait or should I dig it up soon?

My beans are just beginning to poke through the ground. I placed them every 5 inches. I also have 2 rows of peas that are just poking through the ground. I still have to figure out what to do for a trellis for them.

my son took differing lengths of thin cut branches and wove them into a kind of fence behind his peas.  Looks cool and they have something to cling to as they grow...just a thought

 

Where's the valley?

weedville, byrnedale, force... way north of where you are in big run(just read where you said you lived in th e garden forum!) a little far to get soap, I think.  Somewhere at the beginning of this thread, there was a place to order the fels online, it was even grated! Maybe that would help you find it.  It is the best detergent I have ever used and would hate to go back to the old stuff now...

Pay $1.23 in the valley.  Fels is getting hard to find so many are making the detergent.lol!  My son and his wife use it to spray in their garden for bugs in the summer because they say it's safe for the plants too!
