I have a crazy garden. I am trying to understand what the heck is going on. As you know, I planted early and had to baby the veggies during two frost/freezes. Even though I covered the plants, I believe the cold stunted them somehow. They have not grown as well as I thought they should. The plants have been a very light green, almost yellow at times and they are not filling out very much. I sprayed them with some Epsom salts and water...which is supposed to make foliage green-up and help fruits produce. It helped a little. I'm trying to be as organic as I can be.
Here it is, mid-May and the veggie plants are starting to produce their fruits, which is wonderful.....but I doubt it produces very much considering the size of the plants. Just take a look......

As you can see in the first couple of pictures, I'm not finished with the garden area yet. I'm still working on it and am also making a flagstone path around the outside perimeter. Hope to finish that project up next week. I'll show you, once it's done.
And how can I talk about the garden without showing you my blooming flowers.

| Magnolia |

| Peony |

| And last, but not least...trailing Petunias. |
Talk Soon,
Laurie
