Disappointing July 8, 2024

 No hail this year but it seems the garden is just not growing very fast.  The peas were tough on the outside and good on the inside.  Summer cut and opened many of them

Beau pulled those out and we planted bush beans because Laura Flanders said that the Japanese beetles would leave them alone.

I think I made a mistake. We got compost but not soil.  We mixed  but probably not enough.  Janet Barger gave me canning stuff but will I get cucumbers.

The hydrangea is really looking bad so is one salva and the poppy. Maybe something will happen next year.  But Mama's Garden looks pretty good for the first year.  Need more perennials for sure.

The tomatoes look fine although they had a fungus after I came back from Lake City.  

The plant I loved this year from Home Depot was Rio.  Just blooms and blooms and no dead heading.

I planted geraniums at the front door but they are doing nothing. Why? It's the compost. What we should have gotten, I think is garden soil. Not sure why Laura really likes that compost
On July 6, Summer and I planted another row of green beans.
I picked dill and dried it. I'll have to buy some if I can make pickles.  
The lettuce was good this year.



just not growing fast ugh

very slow dahlias

2 never sprouted so Swan Island is replacing them next year

Rio, dahlia, Rio

This was a good move, mint and chamomile tea

daily perennial

Laura said this is a zinnia. It was from seed

Hope to see a sunflower in 10 days  maybe
I like these little dahlias from Walmart
