With spring approaching, one of the major undertakings for many homeowners and tenants is getting your trees, gardens and flowers ready for the full bloom of later spring and summer.Obviously, Katrina and Rita have had a tremendous impact upon rebuilding and building from the ground up which includes gardening.
So, what do you need to do now, to get ready for the upcoming spring plant and flower season?While it is still cold or cool outside with weather uncertain, what should you be growing?What plants are “in” this spring season?
Bayoubuzz spoke with Shaun Hunter of Charvet’s GardenCenter, in Metairie, concerning these issues.Here is a two minute response.Part II is Thursday.
I guess it's time for "the fat boy" to go weed and break up the soil in Ruth's (future Mum-in-Law) gardens. Now that fiancé of mind, I cannot ever envision that woman getting her hands dirty gardening (she might break a nail, heaven forbid!). Her loss as this is one of the most therapeutic activities I know of (and you can EAT some of this stuff, which is mo' betta than "pretty flowers”, IMHO). Although the house did not flood the yard was submerged and the gardens ruined. I am proud to say that Ruth and I (well... mainly Ruth) have the gardens looking good and producing a few eatables as well. I certainly look forward to our glorious Spring weather; all two weeks of it. Written by kpf

Well, dears, it is time to get a little varietey in your garden. We suggest some creeping thyme and some Spanish lavender. Of course, check out the azaleas - some stunning flowers other than the usual colors. Look for those that give you some enjoyment and stay year round rather than the annuals. My now look at that dogwood. Why we even think we have found the tendrils of Spanish Moss around some miniature crepe myrtles we have potted. Gardenias, mock orange, etc. to fill the air with scent. For those who like roses - look carefully, dears. Now where are those gloves when we really did them? Written by RhettsWife
