plant a garden

Tie up or cut squash/zucchini leaves, away from other vegetables

Figure out how to deal with ant problem, and do something about it!

Figure out how to deal with other bugs, and do something about it

See that the flower bed is completely dug out

Thin the vegetables grown from seed

Research more garden needs for 30 minutes

Edit: 15 minutes research

I think we’ll have to cut back some of the leaves of the zucchini and squash, or tie some of the leaves onto posts, because they’re smothering the green peppers and starting to grow over the cabbage and eggplant.

Inspired by matt2point0 I bought a small pot of cherry tomato. It it growing nicely, but I am slightly concerned about the “harvest”;-)))), as it’s been raining soooo much recently, and tomatoes need a lot of sunshine. But, but, but, the summer’s just begun so there is a hope. With little red tomatoes or not, another green plant in my garden looks cool.

The rain though was a blessing for the herbs, they are growing like crazy. I cut them regularly and add to salads, but they grow fresh and grow and that is so GREAT.

i have done gardens for a few people ovver the years and have always had a great satisfaction when it is all done, i really enjoy working outside and planting,, the goal is not finished for me yet as i have yet to plant a garden that i own for myself. i have one 5 gardens for other people , using the plants that they got themself. i want to go to the shops and select the plants and design my own garden before i can close this goal.

my roses are blooming.

They look so pretty and have already grown quite a bit since I took the photo.

It is so ornamental… I would like to have some white flowers to contrast against it along the border… sometime in the future.

A spectacular bloom…

we have planted:

1. periwinkles in the seasonal bed
2. 2 knockout roses
3. 3 lavender bushes
4. 5 star jasmine vines
5. 5 hardy crossvine
6. purple fountain grass
7. 6 shasta daisies
8. 3 autumn sage
9. 5 blue queen salvia
10. assorted day lilies
11. 1 sweet olive
12. 1 shantung maple
13. 3 hydrangeas
14. 2 rose mallows

This is in addition to the 4 rose bushes, a crepe myrtle, an althea, some azaleas and dwarf nandinas that were already in place. I think we are done for the moment. I want to enjoy this and see how things develop before we add anything else to the garden.

Like the title, I am. I just need to grow some more fruit and I am done. I have about 10 vegetables, 15 herbs, and 4 fruits. I want to have at least 10 or more of each. Just need to get some more fruit seeds. This is very fun but very challenging because my garden is in the back and my dog is back there. Any way hope I am done by the end of the month.
