Last weekend was a great time to gather up annuals and a few perennials and stick them in the dirt. Plants have finally made it to the garden centers, though they tell me they are missing quite a few things that would normally be available. I also planted in ground or pot those seedlings I started in late January which have made it through the process and the twice weekly cat maulings.
Here's what I brought home from the garden center, seeded myself, or planted last fall after stealing from my mom's garden:
Annuals: Alyssum "Easter Basket", Bacopa (50cents!!!) "Snowstorm Blue", Verbena "Lanai Blush White", Nemesia "Innocent Compact Pink", Cosmos, Delphinium, Torenia "Summer Wave Blue," Nastursium "Empress of India" and some sweet basil which did incredibly well, even inside.
Perennials: Yarrow "Appleblossom," Star Jasmine, Trailing Lantana, Butterfly Bush "Unknown," Sedum "Autumn Joy," Hydrangea "Forever Pink", red and purple Beebalm, Elephant Ear "Unknown Lowe's Variety," an Autumn fern and a Lavender plant I just had to have.
I also planted some agapanthas and a rose of sharon last fall but they don't look like they are returning as of yet.
So thats the scoop so far, and this weekend is planning on being just as nice out there. Time to go back to the nurseries!
