some good news; some confusing news; some bad news June 25, 2025

 Good

1. Tomatoes look good, very green, not a lot of flowers yet

2.  The clipped petunias grew beautifully

3.  The sod that the water company put down survived

4.  Roses doing well. Was it the weak coffee water?

5. Gladiolas came up

6. Some of the perennials are doing great

7. The day and oriental lilies are doing well. I thought I was going to miss the pink ones.

8. So many peas and lettuce

Bad

1. Some very tiny bug ate my zinnias and the one dahlia

2. Part of "Mama's Garden"  is not doing great, hard soil

June 10, 2025 Things are not really growing

 I am leaving in a couple days. The sprinklers are going for 15 min.  Laura will check on things but I wonder.  I also should have bought more flowers.

I would have trimmed all the petunias today but having guests for dinner so left the blooms.  

Tom replaced a washer so hopefully the bib won't leak.

And then there is the sod.  I've really watered it.  Hopefully this one will do better than the last batch Willow water dropped off.

June 5, 2025. Drip system and all going well. No hail yet

So relieved to have this set up. Thank you, Laura Flanders

All going well. The soil is so good, maybe it was the manure and last year's compost

The lettuce even tastes good

Shocked that one of the allium bulbs actually bloomed this year.
