Frost Advisory

[Greg]

Normally, I'd be like, "hell yeah," but we just spent a bunch of coin and spent a lot of time planting a bunch of annuals today. Lots of our frost susceptible perennials have also started to grow. :evil:

Zone 5, Greg. Not safe to plant annuals until around Memorial Day.

One of the few things I retained from the 3 years I worked for White Flower Farm.

Does this mean the forum color might get changed back to blue?

I'm actually zone 6, but yeah, memorial day is probably safer. Usually May 15 is fine and I figured we were close enough, but didn't check the weather this weekend....

Torrington is zone 5. So is Harwinton but Burlington is 6. You're right on the border.

anyway I never thought of hardcore bumper and m-biker Greg as a gardener..nice to see he hasn't lost his feminine side..

I love gardening and putting out shubs, flowers. hanging plants. I think i spent close to $300 at lowes over the weekend. Probably another $100 at Walmart. Patch seeding the lawn as well.. Your post suggest you do not own a home. GSS. Taking pride in ones yard has no gender sides. Go back to the Ct ski and mogul threads.

Patch seeding the lawn as well.

Have you had much success seeding the lawn this time of the year? The usual recommendation is to seed in the early fall or the early spring (just after the weather gets warm enough).

If gardening isn't enough of a "man word" then you can call it "yard work"...in any case it's not something I'm fond of doing but I do like it when I've accomplished a yard project.

I have had no luck no matter when I do it. My neighborhood is close to the river and the highway. When the Everett turnpike was put in all the sand from the road was dumped along the River and our section of homes went up.

Too much sand.

I had 6 inches or loam put in and then seeded. It took so so in most of the areas. Where it did not take,,,,. I had the sod strips brought in. I installed it
All of it died. Finally I saw I had Grubs. I have been working on that. I did re-seed the lawn in the fall. Just the patch near the road" that gets salt from the plow trucks and Grubs keep coming back" is winning the battle against me.. I tried the stuff that has the fertilzer, mulch and seed all in one this time. sand castles against the tide.:grin:

Flowers, plants, shrubs all look good.:grin:

Either way puttering "gardening" in the yard usually gives quick satifaction for the effort you put in.

Too much sand.

You probably have some bad ass hydrangeas though!

No I don't own a home and I'm not into gardening and stuff..I've never cared for yardwork so I'm not buying a house until I can afford to hire someone to take care of that sort of thing,

A condo may be a nice option. They have condo full houses part of communites. Ie your own home, but all the yard work is done by others. Does not have to be a town house or Garden style. ie detached.. I should have put a after my post before. My point is, like cooking , gardening can be fun for both sexes. I spent all weekend on yard work and then cooked a feast for mother's day and had a blast. Tired, but fun.

I grow basil and oregano in the summer...thinking about expanding on that this year.

Last year I grew Rosemary, but hardly ever used it.

You can moderate all the Ct and Mogul threads. Well seems like you have a comment on all of them anyway. I read a few today to keep up.
