being as there is 3 grandchildren in the household, there will be 3 jack o' lanterns carved. per request of grandchild #1, seeds have been saved from her pumpkin. seeds will, therefore, be saved from the (smaller) pumpkin of grandchild #2. am hoping that daughter will pick up a small white or pie pumpkin for grandchild #3 (who, as yet, is too little to protest the size). granted, there is only minute space in the wee patch, but i will still try to put in 3 pumpkins.
grandchild #1 also requests lavender to be grown in 'her' garden. i have 2 containers..the smaller will be for a lavender seedling or two. the taller one i will try a clematis & a patio rose. other flowers set are: marigold (day of the dead), carnation, & hedge petunia.
herbs set are: mugwort, basil, german chamomile, spearmint, peppermint, bergamot
veggies set are: tomatoes, lettuce, pickling cucumber, cabbage, .....
Maybe I should try growing lavender in a container. I can't have any worse luck with lavender than I have had already.
ReplyDeleteI grew lavender in a container this year for the first time. I have some in my garden, but had to move one, and tried it in a large pot. It seemed very happy there. I just hope it over-Winters well.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to plan the gardens for next year!
