Surviving the Storms

it seems to me that everyone else already has fruits pouring from the vines of their plants, and some of those people are already able to eat those said fruits. WHY CAN’T I?????

I know, I know, my garden got a late start and the ground has just now started staying at good temps at nighttime. But still, this stinks! I want some yummy veggies!!!

I finally have some sprouts in some planters and in trays. I’m excited! But at the same time, it’s about time!

My sweet potatoes I plant at a broken off area of a cement stoop that’s at the side of my house, beside my garden. (I guess years ago there used to be a house trailer here and that was the porch for the trailer??) Anyhow, I found last year that planting the sweet potatoes at the broken edge leads to very huge crops of sweets. The potatoes actually grow under the stoop in the cooler, dark area and grow so much bigger and so many more per plant than they do growing elsewhere in my garden.

My tiger lilies are getting ready to bloom. The buds are all over the place. I transplanted some lilies elsewhere this year, and they all seem to be doing good also.

btw, did I mention I looove the golden claw cultivator? It’s so easy to use (especially of the mornings when the ground is softer) and makes the garden look so much nicer. No need to bend over to pick the weeds or anything (except the dang maple tree seedlings). I cultivate about twice a week. Now, around the onions, I need to get in there and actually pull the weeds by hand. But 3 rows out of 20, I am not complaining.
