Last Date For Frost.......

for our area is April 15th!   

But last year we had cold 

end of April after we put

out the Brugmansia.

One should be cleaning up the 

yard and getting the soil

conditioned for this year's

season.   If you are buying 

plants, please protect them 

until after the last frost date.

How many of you buy and 

just put out in the yard?    

Or do you quarantine them 

before putting them out?

General rule is to put out or

do veggies after Mother's Day.

If you do plant early, protect them!

This year with the higher temps

we are currently seeing the 

Perennial Hibiscus coming up

early.  We usually see them in

mid June.
