A Note from Susan

Tulip 'Artist'ATTENTION! If you’re on my Blog page and see this “Note from Susan,” scroll below it for access to all my posts… and there are LOTS! (Technical difficulties.)

May 7, 2026 _ Hi, everybody! Our weather continues to be amazing and even a bit on the hot side. This seems so early but in looking through my notes from previous years, we do tend to get some extra warm days this time of year. These flowers are ‘Artist’ tulips, a form of green tulip. They are one of our last bulbs to flower in the spring and I think they’re cool!

It’s time for my next video and this one is all about growing beans. I love how easy they are to grow and esp. how productive they are! I’m creating 2 parts to this video topic as I’m waiting for the seeds to germinate and start growing. Today’s link is for part one and then in 2 weeks, I’ll share part two with you. Here we go: Grow Pole Beans & Bush Beans – Part 1

Have you checked out my Fertilizer Guide For Veggie Crops? I had received a request to make it easier to know which types to use. Just click on the link above to check it out.

Remember to visit the Grow Vegetables section that I created for my website. It is absolutely packed with useful information and tips. You can get to my guide by clicking on the link, or look for it in the menu bar on any page.

Be sure to check out my Amazon store for the gardening products I use and recommend so you’ll be ready for the new garden season. I receive a small commission but that won’t impact the price you pay.
