Plans for the spring?

[gumbogumbo]

What are you all planning for this spring? I'm thinking cucumbers, radishes, lettuce, and strawberries for me. Marigolds to fend away a bug or two. I only container garden, so I have to get myself a decent trellis before the season starts. Maybe this year I'll actually use compost. What about you?

I've got my primula seeds in, because too many primulas are never enough. Last year's primulas all died from the drought and my forgetfulness, with the exception of one tiny and extremely lucky plant that I'm honestly not convinced is 100% out of the woods. So I've bought almost exactly the same seeds as last year, except one that was sold out.

I also want to put some hardy geraniums in somewhere. I discussed it with Husband and he had some suggestions for places they could go. I don't think those will be from seed.

Finally, still dithering on the iris question. I know I'd like some, I just have no idea whether they could actually live in our garden. Husband thinks our soil might be too dry for them, because the ones his parents have like a boggy area. But I know someone who grows them in her garden in Texas, and it's all very confusing. I think if I see some at a reasonable price I'll just try it and see what happens.
