Getting the Garden Ready !!!

Sunday, April 29 - Even though we have another frost warning, my vegetable garden is ready to plant.

Yesterday, I raked out the uneven areas and placed lines for planting. The 10 day forecast looks great beginning tomorrow and I plan to plant either Monday or Tuesday evening after work.

This morning, I sprayed Miracid on my rhododendron, hydrangea, azalea and blueberry bushes. These acid loving plants love this fertilizer which I begin using in the spring and continue every two weeks throughout the summer.

I am hoping this year, after using Miracid earlier in the spring, that my hydrangeas will bloom earlier and last longer.

I have included some pictures of my vegetable garden as well as a few strawberry plants. If you look closely, you can see the berries which have already begin forming !!!!

I also made hummingbird nectar and added this liquid to my feeders hoping the anticipated warm weather this week will bring these birds back to my garden.

Enjoy your Sunday and also this beautiful weather.
