Janury is almost gone and February is coming in with cold weather by the sounds of it. My winter has been good for the most part . I have officailly started some seeds of perennials that need lots of time. Seed orders are coming in every few days now. I have decided what I am going to do as far as my new greenhouse year. I have ordered enough seeds and bulbs and plants for this year I believe. Enogh is enough Wilma. I have some new plans for my own yard. '
I want to go thru my perennial bed and cut out a patch for cutflower anuals. My tall annuals and bulbs are going at the edge of my vegetable garden this year. So if anybody wants some perennials from my garden come along and choose come May or June once they start coming up.
My dahlias tall cosmos and lavatera, Himalayan Impatiens and Malva I want to put at the edge of the garden. I might put in a patch of marigolds imn my garden as well to deter bugs. Flowers in my garden may bring in more bees to pollinate vegetables.
I want to try seeding my cabbage cauliflower and broccolli in the garden too. I think Ill make a patch of it instead of a row.
On the north side of my house I think I will seed my herbs and lettuce so its closer to the house when I need it.
Then around my pond I will use pots instead of planting in the ground Seems to work better there. I will use pots on my stumps in the backyard as well with begonias and shade plants. I need to decide on the patch I cultivated. Impatiens and coleus and shade annuals till I get that patch totally rid of grass.
On the north side it will be impatiens and cocktail begonias .
Up front it will be New guinea Impatiens among my roses again. They were so beautiful there last year.
I will use lots of petunias in my tubs here and there around the yard. I think I will plant my cannas against the house by the dining room and plant marigolds in front now instead of impatiens there.
In the bed by the hydro pole I will put daisy and geraniums with allysum and verbena along the edge.
The bed by the road I will put zinnias, celosia, and I wiill decide on the border plant there maybe matricaria.
I might put a few millets in the very centre.
Along the south border it will be phlox, snapdragon, petunias.
I need to move my lythrum and then I will put a bed of pansy and asters in there.
