Today’s blog is another post with questions!! Fewer than the last one, I promise, but it became clear to me last time that you guys are a wealth of information!! We all know/care about different things, which is one of those positives about everyone being different! It would be SO boring if we were all just the same.
So, its question time! Yard question time!
- I’m pretty sure all of my tomato plants died. Its really sad. Cher and I loved on those things so good, and then shocked the heck out of them by not putting them outside enough before planting them in the ground. And then the wind finished them off. Its so sad. I’ve been reassuring myself that, really, I can just go buy some tomatoes 😆🍅 I promised myself I’d be chill about this years garden, just plant things in the ground and see what came up. Spoiler alert 🚨 Tomatoes will not come up. So, the question is, has anyone seen any tomato plants still out and about in stores? As in Costco, or something similar? I’m not hitting greenhouses at all, so it would need to be a convenient place, like a grocery store. Anyone? Any tips?
- More about plants. Lilac trees, specifically. I was gifted one, and I decided to place it in the front corner of our property. I had gone back and forth on trees, and what I might want or not want. I LOVE the idea of having a lilac tree! And once it was planted, it got me thinking. What if I put a row of them along our front yard? That way, when we have neighbours, we have some gentle separation without being weird jerks, and until we get those neighbours, we’d get some cover from the wind in our front yard 🙂 Thoughts? I think a row of purple lilacs is SO us 💜 (Emily, I don’t know if you read this or not, but I LOVE your lilacs! #inspo)
- Last one. Grass. I still don’t know whether we’re going to hydroseed or just seed ourselves, but I have a question. Maybe its an easy one. Last time I talked about grass on here, everyone agreed to only plant in Spring or Fall. Why is that? Is it because of the heat? Is it just more annoying to keep it watered in Summer, but doable? Or is there some big reason I’m missing? 🤷♀️ Help?
I’m going to leave it at that! Our yard is coming along so nicely, and I’m enjoying putting it together and brainstorming and dreaming of what it’ll all be one day. I would welcome your input 😊🌱🌤
