I always get overly excited this time of year waiting for the last frost to really get started in the garden! There have been too many perennial sales where I live lately so I my bath tub has turned into my temporary greenhouse since it gets the right amount of light. I think I need to divide my Bee Balm this year because it's starting to create that donut shape just like the Hostas.
I am itching to get my fingers in the dirt and always need someone to tell me to wait (and this week’s heavy snow helped, too!). My onions, leeks, brassicas, and eggplants are up and growing under lights and I’m starting coleus for the second time this year. Now it’s time for peppers and soon the tomatoes will join them. I love reading your advice, Mary!

Oh, I so identify with a bathtub full of plants! The more beebalm, the better. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks, Sheri! Yes! I start my tomatoes this week.
Great advice- I always miss the best time for dividing perennials... because I'm too busy trying to push the season in other ways- ha!
I like that Go or NO-GO approach. We are just a little ahead of you here in Indy!
Thanks, Carol! When I listen to you and Dee in spring, I get a little jealous -- though not so much about the heat in summer.
