Question: When do you plant your annual seeds and plants?
Answer. American tolklore tells us to plant tender
annuals like petunias, begonias, impatiens, etc., after
the apple blossoms drop, cherry trees bloom, and
deciduous tree leaves are fully sprouted. However,
to really be safe, wait until around Mother’s Day to
plant tender annuals. The sun is higher in the sky,
and it’s very unlikely that we’d have really cold
nights that would retard their growth.

When buying new plants, keep the following tips in
mind to have greater success:
Philip 1 Thompson

1. Tall, spindly plants may be pot-bound,
with roots too small to sustain more top growth.
2. Look for compact plants with a lull crown
of leaves. Avoid plants with brow n leaves or in full
1 bloom.
3. Check for insects on the tops and bottoms
of leaves and along the stems. Chewed leaves or
undcrleaf discoloration like yellowed or browned
spots might indicate a diseased plant.
4. Beware of six-packs of bedding plants
that contain only four plants. What happened to the
other two? It’s possible that they were diseased; you
could introduce disease into your garden through the
remaining plants.
5. Before buying new perennials, trees or
shrubs, check gardening books or your local county
extension office to see it it is hardy in your area.
Also, learn the plant’s requirements, like how much
drainage it needs and the amount of sun and shade it
will tolerate.
6. When transplanting con tamer-grow n
plants, prepare the new hole by digging it a bit
deeper and wider than the root ball, mixing humus
(like compost or peat moss) and fertilizer with the
soil. Before taking the plant out of its container,
water thoroughlv; this will make it easier to lilt out.
7. To help the plant establish quickly,
carefully loosen the sides and base of the root ball,
particularly if root-bound, by teasing out the roots
with your fingers or hand rake.
8. Place plant in the appropriate depth of
prepared hole, backfill with soil and water it in. 11
the water has caused the plant to sink in farther than
the appropriate depth, gently raise the plant to add
more soil around its root system. Continue watering
daily until the plant has had time to become
established in its new location.
9. If you arc not going to plant immediately,
keep containers well watered. If the plants are left
too long in containers that are too small, they w ill
soon become root-bound.
When I planted my sweet peas and edible peas, I d
been advised that using Garden Inoculant would
ensure bigger yield and better quality of these crops.
Inoculant is cultures of nitrogen-fixing nodule
bacteria. It aids the plant by supplying more nitrogen
to its root system. To hasten germination, soak the
seeds for 24 hours or more, then dust w ith inoculant
before planting.
Look out, World! Alter using Garden Inoculant,
I’m planning on having vases lull ol sweet pea
blooms and bowls of fresh beans to feed my family
and f riends.
Happy planting!
I’d like to hear from you if you, too enjoy
gardening. Please write to June’s Garden, P.O.
