Spring in Michigan swings like mother nature on LSD, sunny and mild to snowy and cold and then back to hot and humid. We've had many nights with low temps in the 30's preventing the migration of the tropical plants and dahlias from the basement to the yard. Last fall we hauled 17 pots of dahlias into the basement and all 17 have sprouted. The elephant ears are starting to grow now that it is warmer. Hoping this week we'll be able to move them outside.
I have started three flats of flowers from seed. I have moon flowers, morning glories, lupines, gaillardia, hollyhocks, salvia, rudbeckia, datura, foxgloves, rose campion, butterfly weed, four o'clocks, and castor bean growing so far. I've had great germination so far and have another couple flats to start. I'm working on a moon garden and have plants I've ordered, plants I've collected, and the starts from seed.
I'm working my way through weeding the flower beds. I have the parkway bed, the south side bed, and the red of the trellis bed to finish. I have annuals to plant if the rain ever stops.
