March Means Garden Planning
Now that March has arrived. It's time for me to start mapping out a plan for my vegetable garden on paper. Around this time of year I get so anxious about getting outside to work in the soil.

I remember these beautiful sunflowers which you showed last summer. Let's hope they will grow as high this summer again.
ReplyDeleteHello Eva, I plan on planting all different colors of sunflowers, all around the boarder of my garden this year, to form a fence. I think this will be pleasant to look at while at the same time attracting bees.
ReplyDeleteHi Lydia!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today! I am so jealous that you will have a veggie garden. Gardens are so beautiful! I live in a small apartment, and there is no space for a real garden. But, maybe I could try growing some herbs out on my deck. We'll see... :)
Hello Lone beader, You would do so well growing herbs from your deck. I did that every summer when I had an apartment. I just enjoyed sitting on my deck looking at my potted herbs. They are really easy to grow in a pot. You can even bring them in, so they'll last a bit longer when the weather get's colder.
ReplyDeleteLydia..all different colors of sunflowers, forming a fence around your garden should be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will pictures!
*I hope you will be posting pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I should preview before posting, huh?
Sunflowers are so happy. Now and then I see giant ones being grown and love the way they hang their heavy heads. Good luck with the gardening. Leave the housework - it can wait, good gardening weather cannot.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have tagged you for a meme.
Hello again I used to grow sun flowers I love the way they look and you are right they do attract bee's Take care now.
ReplyDeleteJan, Hello and thanks! I love putting sunflowers in my garden. They add so much color to it. Don't worry. I always find myself having doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Thank you. I am going to make sure to try and let the housework go so that I can spend more time outdoors this summer. Summer is too short in my parts to stay locked up in the house.
Jamersonrising, Every year I make sure to plant them in my veggie garden. I also love to plant marigolds between my vegetable plants through out the whole garden. I find my veggies grow better with marigolds along side of them. I will be starting my merigolds indoors within the next week or so.
Linda, Thank you for choosing me to do a meme. I'll have it posted later today.
