Trish said:I am very pleased to announce the Plant Weeks for 2014!

There will be 2 Plant Weeks each month from January through October, and we will be taking November and December off. We will continue to have one raffle per month, so hoard those acorns this winter!!

Every member is invited and encouraged to participate! Feel free to submit ideas and articles for each themed week. If your favorite topic or plant isn't represented for the coming year, don't despair- all gardening topics are always welcome, and will be featured the rest of the year. Articles are a great way to earn acorns!

Without further ado:

Jan: cold weather crops, annuals (new intros, seed starting, etc)
Feb- roses, herbs
March- tomatoes/peppers, water gardens
April- daylilies, annuals (focus on planting, combinations, etc)
May- Shade gardens, summer and tropical bulbs & tubers
June- soft fruits, vines/climbers
July- trees/shrubs, xeriscape plants
August- daisies/coneflowers, tropicals trees/shrubs
Sept- Agastache/salvias, hardy cacti/succulents
Oct- spring bulbs, natives/wildflowers


It's going to be a great year!!

For each month, what plant(s) are going to be the raffle? For example, for Sept. there is Agastache/salvias, hardy cacti/succulents. Which plants are going to have the raffle? Need to know in advance for each month when I try to get 'vendors' for prizes.

Trish, would you list the raffle plants now for each month?!
