Hey Zone 9 gardeners, are you about ready to plant those fall flower beds, pots, veggies?

Are your beds cleaned out? What did you do to refresh their nutrients? I'm mostly interested in flowers. What veggies? Any roses shrubs or trees going into the ground? I'm so excited that we made it through August. I wanna get going!

Not nearly ready yet!! I have several beds that I need to dig out b/c of Katrina. And I plan to amend them w/ organic humus. I mostly do flowers (especially ones that attract hummingbirds and butterflies), fruit trees and tropicals. I plan to add a bunch of baby palm trees this year, like queen palms, fox tail palms, etc. Roses I plan to add as I can get cuttings to root from a friend who has lots of them. Free is best! My favorite time to garden is Oct-Nov. That way they plants get a chance to be established before the little winter that we get.
Reply:Yes, this is a great time to plant fall tomatoes and cucumbers.


Also, start fall bedding plants and getting garden ready for late fall and winter plants.
