This is my zone 8b Louisiana garden journal.
Stay tuned for updates. I am currently working on planting the cannas back out in the garden, carefully choosing the best spots to ensure they thrive. Alongside that, I am also prepping the area for an exciting expansion, as I plan to use the space more effectively to grow a wider variety of veggies, including tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and beans, as well as delicious watermelons.
I am pleased that the Amaryllis seedlings are budding, showing signs of life and vitality, particularly a very early pink seedling, which we believe is likely from the beautiful Pink Surprise variety. Unfortunately it did get beat up by the harsh weather but is shows promise as a bedding plant. We have another month before the blooms start to multiply, and during this time, I will be sure to nurture them carefully, ensuring they receive the right amount of sunlight and water to flourish in their growth. The prospect of a blooming garden filled with flowers keeps me motivated and excited for what is to come in the weeks ahead.
