The garden this morning.

Baby better boy tomato. This is one of two that are forming. I feel the tomatoes are still so small and they are already setting fruit. But, since I'm no expert, I'm gonna roll with it.

A baby roma. Sorry about the blurriness, I'm not the greatest with a camera.

Front yard container lettuce. It was looking way better than the bed lettuce last week, but since then the bed had a growth spurt and passed it.

Spinach finally getting leaves. I direct sowed back in March. I think next time I'll start them indoors.

Carrots.....looking good if a little bit varied growth. The animals have dug around them so I don't think all of them will survive.

My big pumpkin. The birds/bunnies have decapitated one the the four I have. I'm gonna let them all grow and see which two survive best.

We'll start with some flowers. My porch gets almost zero sunlight, so I'm limited to shade lovers. This is my tuberous begonia. Love that shade of orange.

My wonderful niece gave me money to go buy flowers for my baskets. Impatiens thrive there.

The other basket. More impatiens.

A New Guinea impatien.

These fairy wings will be morning glories and cardinal climbers.

I put some lettuce in a container in the front yard. They seem to be growing lots better than the backyard ones.

Yay! Peas!

Looking like carrots.
This is the lettuce that was sown in march. It's not very big, but the leaves are tighter than the ones in the front yard.

This is the largest of my pumpkins. I was only supposed to have two. Guess I didn't wait long enough to see if they germinated.

Almost every one of my tomatoes are setting blossoms. Crossing my fingers for some tomatoes to develop.
The biggest of the corn is now taller than my hand.

Bless its little heart, this bush bean got all its leaves eaten right off....I hadn't gotten around to pulling it and it's getting new ones.

I still don't know what's eating my garden. I sprayed it, but it hasn't worked yet.

It's rained so much lately, getting out to the garden was almost impossible.

Big Update

The tomatoes all caged up. That'll teach 'em not to sneak out at night.

I thought they would be too small to start setting blossoms. Which is what the yellow blob is.

Another tomato blossom.

Corn is looking good. All of them sprouted too.

Lettuce. It needs to grow or something. I'm seeing too many other garden bloggers eating theirs.

I know that this is a baby's leaf spinach, but seriously....grow please.

Carrots are putting out the first true leaves. They sure do grow slowly.

The "killed" tomato has gotten bigger and more leaves. It's a cherry tomato, so I might just grow him in a large container.

Flowers

Because they are pretty. Wild strawberries and my begonias.

Somebody's been Snacking on my Garden

Most of the beans and all the peppers have been ravaged! They began on my cukes and that was going too far. A little trip to Lowe's, into the garden with pest control. I'm not sure what all I can save.
