When the weather breaks I need flowers. It's almost an obsessions. I stalk the local garden centers seeing who gets in there herbs and Pansy's first. Come July I hate every plant in my yard, but now I want to dig in the dirt. There are vegetable gardens to plan, window boxes to fill, and my English flower garden to weed. Roses that I meticulously prune and fertilize ( never to do again till next year ) This time will be different I promise I will water every day, weed and take care of till September do we part.
This is a Spring selection for any planter
Sage
Winter Savory
Ivy
Thyme (you can clip it fot cooking)
Honeysuckle
Young pine plants
Can't imagine being where you plant a spring window box! In Maine, Memorial Day weekend is THE weekend for the summer planting, and until then, we just leave the boxes filled with now sad-looking spruce and winterberry sprigs that were set in November! Wow - you point out what a short growing season we have here.....I think I want to move!!
