All the Dirt on Gardening

Spring is such a busy season for gardeners. Planting, weeding and getting the grounds ready for spending evenings outside. It's all a celebration of renewal.

beauty that will become 3 by 3 by the end of the summer
These are seedlings and recently planted seeds for the upcoming Muskogee Garden Club plant sale at the Centennial Garden Tour June 9 and June 10. Plant seedlings include rose campion, snow on the mountain, love-lies-bleeding amaranth, purple millet, cleome, blackberries, mint and a few others. Seeds that we hope will be up and garden ready for the 9th include teddy bear sunflowers, Mexican sunflowers, sunshine sunflowers, Indian blanket, Berry Basket and Decor zinnias from Renee Seeds and others.

Anise Hyssop is the lavender spire in front and rose campion is the deep red flower in back. They were both started from seed two years ago.









Great gardening weather and welcome rain is coming. It is easy to be an optimist this spring!
