All the seeds are planted, even the bouncy canary vine. I grow this annual to cover the back shed. It leaps up the net and in July puts out a mass of starry yellow flowers. Years ago, I grew sweet peas in the same spot. However, after I placed a perennial bed in front of the shed, the sweet peas sulked. Sweet pea does not like to be planted behind other plants – it wants all the sun for itself! I now grow it in the back lane as a cutting flower. I have also grown morning glory against the shed. Morning Glory ‘Heavenly Blue” is surely the most beautiful of the climbing annuals but oh, how it shrivels in a frost. Too heartbreaking if we have a late May frost.
I have started a few vegetables. My vegetable plot is very small so I put a few seeds in six inch pots and set them in zip locks until the seeds germinate. I grow a few plants each of squash, zucchini and cucumber. No pumpkin this year. I still have lots in the freezer. I also grow corn. (more about my funny little veggie garden later).
I now have twelve shop lights up and running for 16 hours a day. The warm back porch is full of things germinating, or I hope that is what they are doing.
