What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

[skeeter9]

Oops, forgot to post on here last weekend when we planted 2 more blueberry bushes. Now we have 4, so that's probably enough for us. We also planted another October Glory maple tree in the front yard.

Today I planted: coleus and impatiens in a small pot that goes under a little metal table where I keep a bird house, sweet potato vine and impatiens in a basket that hangs on our front porch, a spirea bush that I paid for with a gift certificate, and a 6-pack each of Irish Eyes Rudbeckia, shasta daisies, and mixed penstemon. I am very excited because we have been in our house for 6 years and only have some trees and my climbing roses planted. We are finally able to put a little bit of money into the front yard to at least get some shrubs established!!!

A watermelon hill
Two containers (large harvest baskets) for Strawflowers
One container for mini zinnias
One container for marigolds

...going out to dig a hole for a few gourd seeds next.
Then I think it will be time to jump in the pool.

I "unplanted" a lot of weeds today!

Over the last two days I have taken about 100 cuttings from various flowering plants, so fingers crossed.

I haven't really planted any foodstuffs yet, but during this week I am hoping to get some watermelon seeds in the ground. In theory I should be able to plant all year round with appropriate watering and shade.

I have seen reference to watermelon hills, can someone explain what this is please?

Planted more tomatoes today, in total I have about 67 tomatoes planted .

Warthog, a melon or squash hill, is just a few seeds planted together- to make a hill. Some swear by 3, some 5... I plant cukes like that too.

 

[thistlebloom]

17 flats of annuals ( a customers , not mine, darn it ). Now, if you'll excuse me I'll be taking some ibuprofen and a loooong hot shower!

I planted Painted Mountain flour corn -- right behind (north of) the Buttercup squash.

The corn will have a couple weeks, then I'm planting pole beans on the south and west side of the corn.

I was looking at my hands as I'm planting wondering if an ancestor's hands would have looked the same, dropping the seed into the soil . . .
