Planting In The Rain!


We took all of our pepper plants to the greenhouse today. It was cool outside only 46 degrees F. Since it was quite rainy, we spent our time in the Greenhouse starting new seeds in flats.
We planted:
*Grand Bell Peppers
*Sweet Banana Peppers
*Bush Beefstake Tomatoes
*Early Cabbage

We also planted the following flowers:
*Glorosia Daisy
*Petunias
*Geraniums
*Celosia
*English Lavender.

The 25 HOSTAS we planted on Saturday will be much appreciating today's wet weather. We divided all our Hostas and planted them in a shady spot. For quite some time, I have heard that Hosta can handle sun or shade. They have never gotten very big in the sun so we'll try the shade this time. Since the deer love Hosta,
we planted them, the HOSTA not the deer, in the orchard for safety.
