I was in our large, community greenhouse and noticed a large number of tomato plants. There will be a bumper crop this year and one couple friend of mine said we will all share. Since tomatoes are short lived I suggested we all can some. I have done that many times and it is a great way to preserve this vegetable. One favorite for our area is called Stupice.

Don't be afraid of a couple of impulse buys as well. If you are anything like here in the UK, nurseries have been hit hard, and had to dump stock. So save a something from the skip.

Good luck but don't let you guard down virus-wise.

I buy too much thinking I will plant it, and then life gets in the way. This year I planted every thing I bought, but only bought for the veggie garden. Then the damn bunnies got the basil, so I had to go back to the nursery to get more basil.

I put my basil in a pot outside the sliders for that very reason, and gives the dogs a hobby

Good for you for having a plan. I spend too much time wandering around just looking for things I might like to plant.

I try hard to get everything in the ground and feel so virtuous when I do. But this year I had one friend show up at a garden visit I'd organized with a truck load of divisions he'd potted up from his garden for us to take. I got some good ones. Then another friend just moved to Oregon and was pressing plants on everyone. When I mentioned liking the pearlescent white rose out front she had it out of the ground in no time and wrapped in burlap. So I haven't gotten everything planted this year but I've gotten quite a bit in.

One strategy I always do before visiting a new nursery or one with a lot of temptation is to walk the garden first, looking for holes and possible upgrades. Then I have an idea of the conditions I have available and don't pick up any plants for which I can't identify a possible location.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
