It is getting harder & harder to say out of the garden right now. On the EC, we will experience some 70 degree temps this week! If you have bulbs, they are inches above the soil right now thanks to some warmer weather & in some cases ready to flower! If you can’t wait, however, there are cool weather annuals that are appearing at the garden centers shortly! It’s not just pansies anymore. Put that wish list together. Remember, temps in the teens & 20’s are still too cold. (You can move planters into a shed or garage until it warms.)
Happy planting:
- Lobelia - Stock
- Osteospermum - Nemesia
- Dianthus (Pinks) - Cineraria
- Sweet alyssum - Snapdragon
- Pansy - Primrose
- Viola - Dusty Miller
- Diascia - Bacopa
Remember a cool weather vegetable like lettuce can make a great ‘filler’ too. Think red leaf or curly leaf for some real interest. Check out the Better Homes & Garden link below for photos & more ideas.
