Planting Geraniums This week started the march to Easter among the many tasks at hand. Potted bulb plants that were planted in early December (tulips, daffodils, hyacinths) were brought out of cold storage to begin forcing them for Easter week bloom. Azaleas as well were put in a warmer greenhouse to force for Easter.
Hanging baskets of cherry tomatoes were planted, and herb seeds planted a week ago are now beginning to sprout.
Debudding Geraniums that are just starting their growth spurt was done so the plants have a chance to put more effort into foliage and root growth for a stronger, healthier plant. There will be ample time for blooms to set later. Pictured above are a few of the thousands of Geraniums being planted in 4 1/2" pots. Scented Geraniums were also being planted for an extra bonus in your garden or window boxes, providing lovely scents to accompany the beautiful blooms. Citronella scented Geraniums even provide mosquito deterrence around your deck or patio!
Since most of the week was relatively warm and sunny, watering and fertilizing became top priority for a major part of each day.
