By this Thyme last year the Petunies were planted, the Tomatoes were caged, the Green Onions were garnish and it was indeed a 'Grand Garden Thyme'. Did I mention it was this same time...that'd be APRIL! Yep, I ignored the 'Texas Mother Natures Garden Almanac' and started early. I had to! The Burpee Plant People were waving me into their isle after isle of Burpee Bedding Plants and guaranteed to 'MakeYa Burp Peppers' and more. I got lots of the more!
Nice huh?

ReplyDeleteAfter my 1st time attempt at a garden last year and all the woes of heat and limited watering allowed, I will not be putting in a garden this year. I'll be in line with you at HEB. :)
