MY GARDEN SECRETS
Hi Gardeners
Hasn't this been a wonderful
week? The sunshine and pleasant
weather has really put a spark of
energy in all of us There are so
many jobs to be done Look
around and you will see all your
neighbors digging flower beds,
trimming the rose bushes, putting
out some new trees and shrubs
I am taking a big chance on
Mother Nature in doinq the beds
with Petunia's. They are the one
annual that can take a 10t of cold
weather. Those deep freeze days
and nights were not good but I'm
hoping we won't have any more
of that. I have put some Junipers
out and of course they will be
O.K.
It wi!! soon be time to plant
other annuals like Mariqolds,
ageratum. Salvia. and many
others, but we better wait a few

more weeks for those as they
cannot take a hard frost.
Get the soil ready and plan
what you will use in them. Decide
on the colors that will look best
with your home.
Day lilies can be separated and
replanted now. Plant Shasta
Daisies now too, Those who love
gardening will find many chores to
do. It is a never-ending job but it's
rme that is enjoyable and
rewarding when the flowers all
burst into bloom.
Plan to put a vegetable or two in
among your annuals. A couple
tomato plants or egg plants when
grown in among your flowers will
give you some good salads and
can be used many ways.
God lives in every Garden
He loves each growing thing
Forget your ills
Get out and dig and sing.
