2008 Garden, Third Week of June
I evaluated my garden and pulled the dead/dying stuff out. A bunch of my squares never grew, I don’t know why. So I planted the following in those spaces: Basil Cilantro Bush Beans Lettuce Beets I was very concerned about not having any Roma tomatoes, so I bought a very large one in a huge pot. It already has fruit on it. I also bought some “Blooming and Fruiting” fertilizer–in just a few days it worked wonders! All my blooming plants have flowers and some now have fruit. I also finally got around to planting my zucchini. Maybe it’s too late. Who knows!

2008 Garden, Second Week of June
I keep thinking it can’t get worse, and then it does. We had another huge windstorm, and garbage snapped my Roma tomato plant. I am so frustrated, because the one thing I want to do is make salsa and tomato sauce, and I need my Romas! I was tempted to dig it up, but I’m just going to leave it and see how it does. It really only snapped off the top, but there is 6 inches of leaves and stem still living. Perhaps it will still grow.

2008 Garden, First Week of June
We’re home from vacation, and I’ve learned that I should have spent an extra 50 cents to buy an elbow. My spigot went straight up, and over time my hose kinked. The garden got some water and it survived, but it is not as happy and flourishing as possible. This doesn’t feel like a good Karma gardening year! To top it off, my camera broke on vacation, so I can’t even take any pictures!
