Planting Season Rules via leaf out and flowering of trees and perennials

 I found these great rules/observations for planting season:

1. Wait for apple trees to bloom before planting bush beans.

2. When the apple blossoms fall, plant pole beans and cucumbers.

3. By the time the lilacs are in full bloom, it will be safe to plant tender annual flowers and squashes.

4. Transfer tomato seedlings to the garden when the lily-of-the-valley is in full flower.

5. Full sized maple leaves signal time to plant morning glory seeds.

6. Peppers and eggplant can be transplanted when the bearded irises are blooming.

7. When peonies blossom, it is safe to plant heat-loving melons, such as cantaloupe.
