Home Farm Herbery

4/5/12

It was a great overcast grey sky morning and I was out at 6:30 am weeding, bringing out the about 12 old containers to be filled and then planted with the following varieties of Zinnias: Cactus Flowered Mix, Luminosa Pink, Orange King, Cherry Queen, Polar Bear, Purple Prince, Dahlia Flowered Mix, Lilliput Mix, Zinnia Scabiosa, and Canary Bird.

I love Zinnias and Sun Flowers!

Gloria arrived at 8 am and she and I created a new medium size flower bed and a new small flower bed where I planted Cosmos, Shasta daisy, Cleome and the following varieties of Sunflowers: Vanilla Ice, Santa Fe, Maya, Teddy Bear, Sunspot, Autumn Beauty Mix, Grey Stripe, Velvet Queen, and Lemmon Queen.I also planted some of the sun flowers down by the orchard at the end of the Mediterranean herb beds.

I started a dozen or so seed geraniums in the green house now that I have some room.I have never started geraniums from seed so it is another experiment.’

Gloria also tackled the CottageGarden which is always a mega weed magnet among the perennials.
