Wow, it’s been a long time since I did anything on here.  October.  Well, I guess that because every time I thought I was getting somewhere with the winter garden it would freeze for a night or two and then back up into the 70’s and 80’s.  Drove me nuts.    Anyway, I think I’m safe now for the summer.  It’s VERY hot already during the day, although I think it’s only in the low 80’s.  In the sun it’s hot. 

I’m pretty much growing the same as last year with only a few exceptions.  I’ve got an entire box plus some on the tomatoes.  There are several different kinds and sizes.  Then I’m trying the sweet corn again in the Earth Box, we’ll see.  Then of course, we have the beans and sugar snap peas.  Cucumbers and peppers, lettuce and yellow squash are all in there.  I forgot to plant the zucchini so I only have one plant of that, but that’s ok. 

I didn’t take a picture yet, but I have a huge planter of cantaloupe over by the greenhouse.  The strawberries are doing well, but I didn’t get out to water yesterday so there are a little under the weather and wilty today, so I’ll catch them tomorrow. 

The roses are doing very well, but no blooms yet, so I didn’t take a picture yet.  Soon, very soon.  I have to get them going quick before Denise gets here in June.  She’ll have my head.
