Summer gardening
From my garden to yours
Lesson 1
Buy quality seeds, Container and /or potting soil
Do not plant seeds in ground until after Memorial Day.
Frost can occur at any time before that date . It’s pretty safe to say it shouldn’t occur after that date.
Clean up area you plan to plant seeds. I usually use a little good soil to mix in with ground soil. I plant my seeds in a row close to my house for some support and I like the uniformity.
Zinnias will need some support as they grow. I use twine or string and attach the twine/string to posts I hammer in ground.
(you do not need to put posts in ground until seedlings/ plants are at least 1 foot high.
Note: you can start seeds in early May in small containers in your home to give the seeds a quick start.
I’ll do another tutorial on how to do that early step in another blog post.
