So, what's new? I've been keeping busy with my gardening and housework. Since my last post I have planted my pumpkins and sunflowers, so that means my garden is all officially planted! YAY!
Here's my zucchini! It popped up the very next day after my last post!
Sunflowers! I planted the mammoth 12 foot kind! They sprouted three days after I planted them and are probably about 6 inches now...I have something that is eating them though, some bug, so if anybody has any tips to get them to stop, PLEASE tell me!
My pumpkins are up! I can't wait to put them on the porch in the fall!
My out of control potatoes! They are a mess!
First potato blossom!
Tomatoes! They are starting to form some flowers! I'm so excited!
Lettuce, Basil, Onions, and Broccoli! We've been clipping lettuce and using it in salads and wraps the past couple weeks! I love knowing that we grew what we ate!
I am having a few fails with my garden. My sweet corn is not so hot. I'm thinking it's the soil. I planted in the ground instead of a raised bed and I think it's just too sandy. I have a few but I don't know if I'll get anything from them. My bell pepper plant is the oddest thing ever. It has not grown since I transplanted it a month or so ago. It's still the same size, still has it's four leaves...I'm at a loss...it doesn't appear to be dying but it's not doing anything...Finally, my lavender....AHHHH! I had a vision...I'd plant them in front of our picket fence and they'd glow and bloom and it'd be a picture fit for a postcard. I transplanted six and all but one died. So frustrating! Again, I think it's the soil because everything else I've planted there hasn't sprouted...oh, well...you can't win them all!
Speaking of flowers, I do have a few wins....
My Lupine is thriving!
My Dahlias are very happy and so are my Glads(not pictured)
Well, I'll end it here! Next week I am hoping to repaint our kitchen and butler's pantry so I will try to remember to take some pictures so you all can see! I'm pretty excited about it!
