Garden Update

I am sad to say that only ONE of my veggies survived our recent deluge of rain. It rained, hard, for 4-5 days straight... starting the day after I planted them. The only one that survived is the one that I planted a week before. It's a scraggly, sad looking tomato. We'll see how it does. I still have a tray with 10 bell peppers in the house. They are only about an inch and a half tall. I weeded an area for them yesterday. I hope to plant them in the next few days. They are still getting acclimated to the outdoors. It's getting late in the season to plant though. I might still pick up a zucchini plant, not sure yet. My green onions in the pot are doing well. Something was digging in the pot, but it seems they gave up.

Dill is coming back in my butterfly garden. I think I may get some carnation seeds (if I can find them) and sow them on the other side of the porch. I may also get some wildflower seeds for a corner of the pasture.

I never did find the missing green bean seeds... giving up on those for now. My local farm stand has awesome beans in the summer. I might as well give them some business!
