Adelina planted a dazzling array of seeds of colorful tomatoes, and they germinated in good order. But then she had way too many, so offered us some, which we accepted. BUT, when she planted hers out, the dastardly slugs ate them. So we are sending some back to her. But we still have a lot. Takers?
We have a number of other things starting, and some disappointments that have not appeared at all, or got immediately eaten by slimy critters.
These are safe in raised beds.
The wild strawberries are coming out. Tiny and tasty.
And roses are blooming! We love our roses. All kinds.
The early spring flowers are done, and some later spring blooms are delighting the eyes.
Both potted and planted.
A Dutch Iris. I miss my profuse German irises from the old homestead, now blooming merrily.
Back to Deidesheim next.
Adelina did great with those tomatoes! It is not as easy as one would think to grow them from seed. I just put 18 of my plants in the ground and gave leftovers to my neighbor, friends at church and still had some for the garden club plant sale.
ReplyDeleteYour spring flower time was very short! No roses here yet. Peonies just beginning.
Flowers 🌸 are beautiful. Agapanthus blooming here and roses love this weather.
ReplyDeleteFor slugs have you tried crushed eggshells around the plant? meb☀️😍
