I am going to plant some gooseberry bushes this spring. <br />We are plagued with Japenese beetle and as I won t use Sevin or anything else that is toxic to birds I have given up on raspberries and blueberries.<br />I do plant a raised bed of zinnias and mix nigella in with them so they dont get flattened when our huge storms roll in. Makes a nice cutting garden. I try and direct seed as much as possible. I start my tomatoes on 1st April and plant them out on 15th May or thereabouts.<br />I keep all my seed in the freezer.<br />We are expecting another snow storm tomorrow so all I can do is plan.<br />lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345707661431587475noreply@blogger.com
