End of June

Well, this has been quite an adventure. My confidence has gone up and down like a riding a roller coaster as I have watched my transplanted onions, zucchini, lettuce, broccoli and peas poop out on me and then perk up again.

The zucchini failed and I pulled it out, fluffed up my dirt and added some potting soil to help hold moisture. Just yesterday I planted new seeds and covered them with some plastic to help keep them warmer. We have had a horrible June. A lot of wind, rain and cold temps have visited this month. Plenty of friends have told me that me garden has felt the effects and it has not just been my doing.

I also replanted my lettuce seeds right in the garden. I believe I saw some sprouts yesterday, but not in every place I planted. I don't think I will use the same seeds next year, the seeds I planted inside didn't germinate either. And the neither did the spinach.

But the broccoli, peas and kholrabi starts I planted are doing great. I am really happy with my first attempt at a garden and have some ideas and tips to try next spring. Now I just have to get out there with my camera and say some more prayers! :)
