End of April and it's finally warm enough overnight to get some plants out. Got all the beans in and the tomatoes. Still watching overnight temps like a hawk. Potatoes are poking out of the soil and the onions are moving along.
Also got the sunflowers planted. My goodness they didn't take no time to consume the soil in their cup. We bought dairy queen cups and lids cause a few seeds were in the house but i still wanted them to get the benefit of having heat and moisture and they worked perfect. They make great seed starting vessels. deep enough, sturdy in the greenhouse too. But the sunflowers, the roots were at the bottom and there were gaps in the soil. was very impressed with those seeds. Planted Solar eclipse and Moonwalker. Teddy bear seeds are still tiny tho as they got a late start.
these are moonwalker sunflowers. Can't wait till they get grown
Cannas are out. red ones have been my fave but do have some yellow ones started in the greenhouse. Milkweed is rising slowly and those will make their way to the back end of the yard where butterflies and monarchs can use them. Still waiting on Helenium but i think i'm gonna have to replant those. been 2 weeks and there's no sign of them.
