Gardening

   I'm the very first to admit that I know nothing about successful gardening, but I'm giving it my best try this year for sure! Last fall I planted tulips in my whiskey barrels, and sadly, only 2 plants came up out of all three barrels! Very depressing. So yesterday, I dug up all of the  rotten bulbs and planted some annuals. I don't k now much about annuals, so I just picked a wide variety and planted them at random. I figure something will survive and if I'm lucky, I'll get an idea of what I'd like to do next year. I think all told I had close to 100 individual flowers that I divided between 3 whiskey barrels and 5 pots. I know that's probably way too many, but oh well, we'll see what happens!

I'm also doing a garden in pots that I have mostly completed. I couldn't decide on a spot for a vegetable garden this year, so I thought I'd see if I could grow anything in pots before committing the time to a big garden. My past record at growing plants hasn't been so good.

I stink at planting. I can never remember to water things. Not good! As for your tulips, if you plant things like that in containers, you need to bring the containers in during the winter months or the bulbs will freeze and die. ;) I hope everything is growing nicely for you this year!
