First we transplanted our pumpkin plants and watermelon plants to the ground---
Our "Pumpkin" Patch
Watermelon Sprouts
Since taking these pictures these plants seem very happy to be in the ground!
Plant of the Week
Sugar Snap Peas
I can't believe these sturdy fast growing plants! They are so fun to watch.
This week we also added in some zucchini vine plants, a couple cucumber bushes, and oregano.
I just can't resist the beautiful plants at the farmer's market and being only a second year gardener--I'll take some transplants, please....any help I can get!
Lastly--I need your HELP---
We took out some dying buses in the front of our house and now we have to figure out what to do with that space.
Here's what the space looks like--
Any suggestions? Please leave a comment below!

Lorepetalum (and I don't think that is spelled correctly), is a nice bush you can plant. It has a purplish,plum colored leaf and it gets fuchsia colored "flowers". Your garden is coming along! How fun!
ReplyDeleteAzealeas and Indian Hawthorns are great evergreen bushes that flower in the spring in summer. Plus they can tolerate partial shade.
ReplyDeletethat looks like a shaded area, if so, azaleas and rhododendruns like partial shade, no hard sun and flower in the spring. We designed our front landscaping 3 years ago and had to make so changes this year due to damage from all of the snow we got over the winter...anyway...take your pictures, measurements and info on sun/shade for that area and go to a local nursery and ask the pros for suggestons. They will know your zone and what works well in your environment.
ReplyDeletePachysandra is a great flowering ground cover that would be a nice addition to your front garden.
ReplyDeleteazaleas! and i'm not sure if its too warm near you, but hydrangeas are wonderful, too.
