Outdoor Planting



The days are in the 50's and nights down to around 42º. I am wanting to embrace outdoor growing. Today I planted in outdoor pots: Gourmet Duo Beets, Peony Poppies (I put the packet of seeds in the freezer for a few days first) and Galaxy Sweet Peas. I'm trying out "companion planting" - since the dahlias are in such big pots and won't really bloom until later in the summer, I put the poppy seeds around the edge of one of the pots. We'll see how that goes. I finally planted the last 2 dahlias from Eden Brothers and threw last year's tuber halves in the woods - those were a failure. I'm leaving all the dahlias outside tonight because I think I need to stop babying them.
