Flowers that will be planted in the Deity Garden
by Rafael
We will be starting up most of our seedlings in the Palace greenhouse, beginning of April. We will do 3 consecutive plantings, about a month apart. At the same time, we will be getting an order of lavender, asclepias (butterfly weed) and oregano.Those are germinated in plug flats before they are shipped, and will need to be transplanted into cell flats.
By the way, if you are interested in Lavender, Asclepias or Oregano, contact us. We buy in bulk, get good deals and have more than we need, so we have surplus we can give you. We will also have marigolds available for devotees who want to grow flowers for the Deities.
In the first week of May, we will be sowing seeds directly in the ground, when the danger of frost is over.
In a couple of weeks, we will plant sweet peas and get an early start on our flower season.
The flowering bulbs produce beautiful flowers perfect for vases.
