Deirdre Carter replied to Paula Gozner Z-4, WIS's discussion New to zone 4 in the group Zone 4"Lol! If we waited for nights that are consistently 50 and above in NH, I don't know if it would ever be safe to plant! -- maybe July! Sad but true!
Michael Freeman said:Plant them as soon as the temperature is above the 50's at night and…"
Deirdre Carter replied to Lora Fleming's discussion What's the first thing you plant and when do you do it?? in the group Zone 4"I just did posted, but don't know if you'll see it...

Deirdre Carter replied to barb nelson's discussion squirrel control help in the group Zone 4"Hi! I have the same problem...and for the same reasons!

Deirdre Carter replied to Lora Fleming's discussion What's the first thing you plant and when do you do it?? in the group Zone 4"What????????? I just asked the woman at the plant nursery and she told me to wait until after Mem Day for the flowers, of course, but for veggies (which I am totally new at and want to try this year) she said not even to think about planting them…"
Deirdre Carter replied to Paula Gozner Z-4, WIS's discussion New to zone 4 in the group Zone 4"I have been tempted...continue to be tempted...BUT you're not supposed to plant until Memorial Day.

Deirdre Carter replied to Deirdre Carter's discussion Hi! in the group Zone 4"Hi! We're in the Lakes region so our plants have the sustain more harsh winters than those lucky ducks who live Concord and south! But we have our natural beauties here, too, and we're lucky that we don't have to worry about trying to…"
Deirdre Carter replied to Deirdre Carter's discussion Hi! in the group Zone 4"Janice Mercieri said:Hi Deirdre. I'm in the same boat you are. I moved to northern NH from CT a few years ago.

Deirdre Carter replied to Deirdre Carter's discussion Hi! in the group Zone 4"Hi again!
Thanks for the warm welcome. I saw a japanese magnolia tree in Derry. It was just breathtaking! Not sure where to get one for myself....I tried azaleas, or at least my kids got me some 2 Mother's Days ago, and unfortunately they…"
"Hi Deidre,
Glad you found some wisteria. It was one of the first plants that I put in at my house...nine years ago. I believe that I have the "Aunt Dee" variety. It's somewhat slow growing, but for the last few years has been…"

Deirdre Carter added a discussion to the group Zone 4
Hi!
This isn't really a discussion. I just wanted to say I'm happy to have found you! Boy! Could I use advice! I was born in the south and moved to NH years ago, but I don't have that "I grew up with this land so it's in my bones" feeling for knowing what and how to plant in the zone that I live in and love! I finally got some wisteria to stand the winters on my porch railing, but amarylis still seem to be a total no-go...They used to be so easy to grow...and so luscious to see! Anyway, glad to be…See More
