I DID plant Romaine Lettuce about 3 weeks ago in one end of my raised bed. Growing well...

I may plant my Cukes at the other end, where I usually have my Tomatoes, but they had the blight
--so I better not plant them there again. I plan to only grow about 3 tomatoes.
Mortgage lifter (which is VF? resistant. One of my Sun Gold 'sports" (a bigger tomato--=but yummy)
and wanted a Chocolate Cherry--but the seeds did not germinate.

Pansies are planted in the round bed around my KK Hibiscus and my front bed.
My Knockout Rose got a serious haircut also a few weeks ago. It comes back nicely.
Cut back my Butterfly Bushes already last fall--My Roses are cut back--need to plant the two I bought at
Walmart yet.

Still need to do an overall cleaning up of beds and amending here and there--and, of course,
digging up and re-planting the Iris. Lots and lots---can't think of everything...

***Need to rattle Paul's cage to come soon to dig up my Wintersweet shrub....YOOOOO HOOOO Paul!!!!
Lets pick a date.....
