Second?

I’m afraid that I’ll be taking a hiatus from gardening this year. I should have planted when we had our first warm weather, because it has stayed nice here ever since.

My knee is better, but my mom is not doing well in CA and I’m going out there to see what I can do. If I plant now, there will be nobody to care for the plants while I’m gone. By the time I get back, all the good plants will be gone from the garden centers, so I’ll just have to get along with what grows naturally.

I was not motivated to start my garden this year partly to take away the food source from the bugs that winter over, and partly because we have our house up for sale. Just this morning I have the itch to plant something. Usually I plant from seed exclusively, but this year I may try something from the garden center at Lowes or Home Depot. Any fun suggestions?
