Plants and Perennials:

I picked up 4 lupine plants from the clearance rack at The Home Depot yesterday for $3.50 each {reg,$7.99}. I think I’ll plant both of the white lupines in the front side yard and the purple and pink lupines in the back.

shasta daisy

I’d also like to get the Shasta daisies I started from seed transplanted to the garden this week as well. Shasta daisies spread like crazy {which is what I’m counting on} and I am hoping that by the time we put our house on the market there will be a nice row of them along the fence near the vegetable garden area.

Garden Vegetables:

A few of the pumpkin and winter squash seedlings I set out in the garden a few weeks ago were gobbled up by slugs. Both the varieties I’ll be planting are 100 days seed to harvest so I know I’m taking my chances… but I just can’t resist. Because really, who doesn’t want a bunch of pumpkin puree in the freezer and winter squash stored in the garage for during the colder months? I’m going for it.

potato seeds

Potatoes. I scored 2 bags of seed potatoes at Wilco the other day for $3.00 a bag! I’ll have to create a new potato bed for them as our current potato patch is full of potatoes I planted earlier this year and I am not ready to dig them up yet.

raised cedar garden boxes

General Garden Maintenance:

We used Tagro in the garden this year and as a result our tomato plants have gone bonkers. I need to tie them to the stakes again so they’ll stop falling over.

staining fence natural fence stain

Stain at least 2 fence sections. {I’ve got a long ways to go.}

Those are my garden chores for this week.

Keep Calm and Garden On.
