We are finally seeing some growth. The full moon made everything pop and things are starting to come up, not as much as I hoped. My herbs aren't doing as well. Cilantro and dill is not coming in yet.
I have to say that mine is so very slow so far. It's been so hot and dry here that I am having to water every day. But I did finaly see a squash blossom! ANd I have seen a few green beans. AND I did get a big ripe tomato the other day plus some cherry tomatoes too!! But the corn is so short still. And the cucumbers are just a few inches long. The sweet potatoes are really taking off. They are all headed toward each other and they are catching up. Also have seen some beets. So I do have things growing but it's so slow to me for some reason.
Amy, don't give up. I came home today and my squash were all shriveled up they were so hot and dry. Then the clouds came and we got a little shower and it cooled off. But I was ready to give up too. Then that happened. So go out and plant something!
It has been a bad year for my garden. No rain and early heat has caused my garden to not produce much. I water with the hose/sprinklers but it's no substitute for life-giving rain water. I've got some small potatoes, small to medium tomatoes. My peppers are doing well but they seem to do well anyway. It's sad because this year I really put a lot of work into preparation of the soil, picking out the plants, and early-on care of them.
