What a difference the sun makes! Here’s the latest from my cruise around the garden. On the patio, the onions have exploded! They are so tightly packed we’ll have to cut them out of the planter…or maybe we’ll just dump them on the ground and pull them apart. Obviously, they were planted too close together! I shouldn’t have to buy onions the rest of the summer!
The next round of radishes has sprouted. Last week I pulled them all out. Bert refilled the planter with fresh dirt so I could plant again.
The new lettuce seed has sprouted:
The small ‘Raindrop’ tomatoes are doing well…I’m hoping they start to turn red soon!
The pumpkins are reaching out and up!
Up in the garden on the hill, the lavender is finally turning purple and boy does it smell good when I brush my hand over the flowers!
The tomatoes are looking good…I’ll have a lot to work with in August!
The carrots have finally decided to grow!
The green and yellow beans are now flowering…the yellow beans seem to be about a week ahead of the green ones.
One of the zucchini plants is actually making zucchini!
And of course, the Echinacea is going nuts. Most seem to be pink, but in the far corner I can still see some of the other colors I planted.
It’s amazing what a little sunshine will do to get things growing. If you have comments or questions for me, please drop me an email at maryjkisner@gmail.com.
