Winter Sowing Results / End of April Garden Update – Cut Flowers and Vegetables

Even though it’s still raining and I still haven’t had the opportunity to plant a lot of my leafy green vegetables, we’re quickly approaching the last frost date for my garden. Here, I generally use the date of May 5th as my frost-free date – though, I’ve heard people say that it changes each year. I just wanted to quickly share what’s going on in the yard, as well as the progress of the winter sowing containers.

Flowering Tobacco Nicotiana
Red Shiso
Oregano

I have no idea what this is – I think it might be ageratum, but I’m not certain.

Salpiglossis – Also, a few snapdragons mixed in – I’m not sure how that happened.
Asters
Yarrow
Feverfew
Sage – noticing some black spots….
I don’t know what this is either – I think it’s maybe some ground cherry.

That’s it! I sincerely hope that you enjoyed the quick tour of all of the plant seedlings I’ve started for the garden. As always, I’d love to hear your questions down below in the comments! Hope you’re having a great day!
