Mother's Day and Memorial Day are profitable days at the local garden shops. I missed both deadlines to purchase and plant flowers; in fact, I just got the job done two days ago! Sometimes it doesn't pay to get too eager to plant, as the temps dip, the winds blow, and the new blooms take a beating. But I am now in the safe zone, and my pots of flowers should do fine. Oh, it's so GREAT to have some pretty petunias in the yard!!
I've been babying my flowers since mid-May. I think they are going to flourish now.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to wait till the frost danger is past. Here it's usually May 1, but I nearly always wait till mid-May or even June 1. Maybe you can catch the July 4th sales for some mid-summer bloomers?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I especially like the color of the peachy one that is last.
