What does spring mean to you? To me it means planting a garden, seeing beautiful tulips blooming alongside bright peonies and pansies. I also think of digging and fertilizing the soil to plant a vegetable garden. With all of this in mind, I've decided to plant my own veg and plant gardens from scratch. YIKES!
Currently, Max and I are attempting to grow tomatoes and strawberries from seeds. Very tricky. If anyone has any tips, I'm keen on hearing- or reading- them.
I'm also planting hydrangeas, peonies and gladiolus from bulbs. I also have sweet peas that I'm growing from seeds. Again, any hints would be marvelous! Nat, I'm relying on you here! I've looked in several gardening books and haven't seen if I can expect blossoms this year, or when to plant them. I should say I have read a lot of conflicting advice regarding both of these questions.
I know this isn't the most thrilling post, but I need some help kind of quick. May long weekend is coming up soon-- HELP!!!

ask martha, she seems to know a lot about flowers. Me? nadda...good luck and see you in kauaii the day after tomorrow! yippeeeeeeee!
Are you talkin' to me? Cuz, I've got perennials planted by someone else that I'm just keeping alive and annuals that were sprouted by some nice person at the greenhouse! We did plant two beans and have two, 2 foot beanstalks just waiting to be but in the ground. :) Water, light, soil, seeds. You've got that covered. I do believe that many perennials won't bloom the first year, but I'm sure some fertilizer will help things along.
Hope you're having tons of fun on your trip!!!!
