This time of year I'm just itching to get in the garden and plant flowers! April 15st is our last frost date in Oklahoma City so I have at least three weeks before it's "safe".
Late frosts are common here so I do try to resist the urge to plant outside but I do start planting hardy annuals in pots in March.
Forsythias, geraniums, stock and lettuce look great in a pot together. They are easily moved in the garage or covered up to protect from the cold.
While I'm waiting I love to go back and look at my garden pictures and remind myself what worked or didn't in the past growing season.
I have tried and steady plants that I always go back to each planting season because they do so well. Lady in red salvia is one of all time favorites. This drought tolerant plant can take heat and blooms all summer long and is a hummingbird magnet.
Impatiens, johnny jumpups, moneywort and
stargazer lilies are planted
in one pot and give me color throughout the season.

I can hardly wait until April 15th! Yes, I've got
Spring Fever!
What are you planting in your garden this year?
