Our zuchini started gangbusters, but then died. Some kind of rot from stem out. Our summer squash is finally starting to bear a little fruit. Our "Rainbow Mix" bell peppers are a little bitter. The only things really working well are the tomato and hot pepper plants. It's a salsa kind of summer. Edited by Luke's Dad, Jul 15 2010, 12:02 PM.

Tomatoes are lookin' good, and the mint is rockin'. Other than that it's been kinda spotty. Huh, I have a garden! |

Cool, wet spring means: Tomatoes are way behind - probably no tomatoes until August. Basil got a fungus so we had to replace it and keep it out of the rain for awhile. Strawberries doing well. Raspberries doing well. Chives look fine. Italian parsley doing great. |

We just transplanted the basil and rosemary during the backyard makeover. We need to add thyme, sage, chives, Italian parsley, and mint. There's a pineapple-guava plant in the yard now and plans to add a white peach tree later. My favorite new plant in the backyard -- the hibiscus rosa-sinensis, with its strawberry sunset flowers. |

Don't ask. My yard is where plants go to die - the ones I want to live anyway. |

thanks. i should take a pic at night, I've got tons of solar lit figures out there. I'll take my "other" pictures in a couple of months when the buds are grown, they're just now starting to appear. |

The three hibiscus were just planted a week ago, one has had three blooms though. Two of the flowers came off yesterday when the gardeners came through with the leaf blower. The flowers are quite exotic, I'll take a pic in between visits from the leaf blower. Maybe I'll try, No utilice el soplador de hoja por el hibisco. |

I couldn't grow a weed.. but on the farm, the wheat was cut a little over a month ago, bumper crop. But there's about 300 acres of corn that's being cut this week because the lack of rain and the heat stunted it and started burning the leaves.. Soy beans holding up though... |

my gardens suck.. i planted my spring greens garden.. it is so huge and overgrown now. i need to pull it out. I was going to start a garden at the new place. I did transplant some perrenial vegetables but they are not doing well. the place where i was going to start a tomato pepper garden was dug out this week. I tried pulling it out, but it was a mass of poison ivy vines... so we had the bulldozer guy lift it out. maybe next year. We graded the back of the property for water flow and revealed a sunny slope. It's the only sun by the house. I'll start a terraced vegetable garden with TONS of herbs and peppers for next year. ![]() also, my piano in its new home
