Planted all my veggie seeds last week. Everything is in containers on the deck because of the deer who think my plants are their personal free buffet. Last year they ate every tulip bud before they bloomed, plus the zucchini I planted right under the deck.
This year dh sprayed some kind of foul deer repellant on the tulips & I am finally getting to enjoy them
. Squirrels took several of the bulbs soon after I planted last fall (or was it the year before?? can't remember now), but at least flowers are still spread out all over the bed. Would look funny if they had removed all the bulbs from just one side.
This year I'm growing tomatos, both beefsteak & bite-sized, lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, & peppers. Looking forward to some delicious salads
.
Still need to mulch some areas & plant geraniums & maybe petunias, but will wait until next month for that.
