Super. I’ll water them with miracle grow every once in a while. I didn’t want to burn them up. Never grown lilies before.

I’m waiting for a jung sale to get some winter beets. Hopefully there’ll be a sale before my planting date for those arrives or i’ll have to just get them full price.

We’re very happy with the trees and grapes we got this year. The trees have all leafed out beautifully even though they weren’t planted till the first week of June. And every lily sprouted except the one I broke the stemmy part off of when I was planting them.

Now I’m waiting for July payday so I can order my garlic for this fall. I usually plant stuff from foreveryong because they carry a lot of ‘warm winter’ varieties that don’t mind that we have mild weather compared to you guys.

I’ll eventually have a dedicated Garlic Bed (we have room for 6 more 4’ x 8’ beds) but since I had some failures this season, I have a temporary place to tuck them in for the winter.

My garlic faves are Northern White and German Porcelain. Mild, but with good garlic flavor and huge bulbs.
