Spring/summer

Spring is here, and summer is just around the corner. If it wasn't for the frost warnings this last week, I would say summer is here. I have been very busy planting and seeding all the flowers for my garden. Some of the seeded flowers, like the zinnias, have just started to peek through the soil. Hopefully they won't freeze tonite. I can impossibly cover up my whole garden, so I will just have to take a chance. If things freeze, I will have to reseed what I can, and some plants such as the asters I cannot replace. The lisianthus is somewhat frost tolerant, as are the snapdragons, rudbeckia, sweet peas, larkspur, bells of Ireland, calendula, sunflowers, queen Ann's lace, and gladiolas. The statice, zinnias, asters, and dahlias, are not so tolerant of frost, so time will tell what happens tonite.
