Garden to-do list

February 3rd, 2003 by rosemarie hanson · No Comments 

I think I have not bought things from Richter’s yet. I may still, but I am trying to play it by ear. I have figured out that I need at least another 400 square feet of garden space in order to plant the seeds I already ordered, not including 2 varieties of corn that I can’t imagine that I will be able find room for. I have a formal garden planned out for the 400 square feet, but I need it dug by April15th or earlier, and since I am never, ever, ever going to give birth, I don’t see how I can do all that digging with an 18 pound baby in my uterus.

I took an inventory of the bulbs I didn’t get to plant - about 50 daffodils, 33 tulips, 5 Black Dragon Lilies (I really thought I had gotten them into the ground) and handfuls of minor bulbs. They have been stored pretty cool and dark, so I am going to attempt to throw them in pots and stick them in the unheated garage. Has anyone else ever potted things up this late and gotten blooms?

I am getting flowers on my Rosemary.
