Anyone thinking to start planting out annuals yet?

15 years ago

I'm thinking I might start planting some of my annuals this weekend if the weather forecast looks good for the next week. It's always so hard to decide when to start getting plants in the ground. Is anyone else thinking to get started or is it too risky?

Absolutely for now I've started Dahlias in pots next to a window and they have sprouted and well on their way. I am trying bananas too this year and although they haven't sent out a ton of leaves they are alive and well.

I know itÂs a week since you posted. Though the official frost date for here isnÂt for another week now, IÂm going to start. As soon as I have finished moving all the perennials I want to rearrange. I have annuals hardening off on the deck now: where I can pull them in if there is a frost warning. There was one for Pennsylvania last night.
