Tips for planting tulips appreciated

I wanted to plant in flower boxes, is that ok?

I want to plant some pansies in a few flower planters, can I do that now?

The wind was howling today, A said he can't wait till summer. Hubs fell on the ice today also so A informed us he isn't coming back out till spring.

Be sure to update what we should start and when. I can't wait!

I just ordered a gurney's seed catalog hopefully that will help some. Our onions and radishes were great and I forgot zuchinni, those things were coming out our ears!

We tried picking them early, cause when they get too big the insides are nasty! It seemed they weren't there one day and poof there the next. The smaller ones still were grassy though.. humm.. we'll try different seeds this year.

Oh yeah and when we planted broccoli it tasted grassy? It was really not good. Perhaps I should try a different green bean?

I donno why we didn't try the seedless ones before, since that is all we buy at the grocery store. How can I keep the cucumbers from trying to take over our garden? Our green beans were grassy tasting and like furry feeling?

We plant the following- Green beans- last year they were so gross, what a waste. From seed. Snap peas- from seed and loved them, but they came up so slow. Cucumbers- great crop but a little bitter? Plus they just about took over.-seeds Watermelon- got about 7 inches and quit. never produced anything-seeds Cantelope- same thing-seeds Tomatoes- beef steak and cherry- we had so many we couldn't keep up! From local green house Peppers- red and green, they did ok, but not that well.- From local green house This year I wanna do pumpkins too.

What are something we should begin doing in February for our veggie garden later in the spring?

I am considering getting some house plants to cheer me up! I can't wait for spring either. Kiddo running around, hubby digging in the garden, baby A hanging out in the shade while Mama digs in the flower bed.. and the sound of birds chirping and the neighbors cutting their grass.

Any time we used homemade soap our dishwasher wouldn't drain. Plus our dishes had a film on them, and the dishwasher smelled funny.

I have picked a few red tomatoes with black spots on them Only on our big ones though, the cherry tomatoes haven't had any yet. Any guess to why some of my peppers are coming on with brown spots?

We have bobcats, they keep the rabbit population down.
