Over all...

Besides my carrots, my garden is coming right along. Corn, beans, herbs, radishes, onions, etc..are growing like crazy! I am a bit worried tho, I am leaving for 9 days tomorrow, and will have to depend on my children (who are all adults) to water every day!

I did have a little incident when I fertilized. I used an Alaskan Fish fertilizer on my garden and that was an experience! Close your doors and windows, first off! LOL...I had planted strawberries and a pineapple in my front flower gardens. The next day, 1 and a half of my strawberry plants and my pineapple, had been dug up! Pretty sure it was my dogs! Everything seems to be okay now, but I did get a lot of flies!

I am looking forward to seeing how my garden progresses in the time I am gone! I see changes every day but this will be a big one! So until I return, happy gardening!

Some Disappointments and some success...





I have been very disappointed with my carrots! I had a whole bunch of seedlings and only 1 survived. I planted seeds, and only 1 came up! I love carrots! Today, I tried again...hopefully I will have success this time!

But I do have success! My red pepper bloomed and now I have one growing!



Can you name this plant?


LOL..I had some zucchini planted here, and the seedlings died, so I planted some garlic. Now this is growing...looked like a late zucchini but it has been growing so fast that now it almost looks like my pumpkin plants! I did not have a pumpkin seed near that area!
