Growing, growing, growing...

Notes from this week:

1. Sunflowers are all up and doing nicely.

2. Daylilies are transplanted. They looked a little wilty today, but hopefully will establish over the weekend. Maybe they'll start blooming this weekend too. :)

3. The few zinnias that are up are slow but steady. There are a few more than before...that's at least something. Next week I will plant marigolds in the bare spots. Hopefully it won't look too funky in the next month or so.

4. Started picking peas this week. Don't have quite enough to cook yet, but they're steadily coming. Next time I will plant another row, I think.

5. Lasagna bed is just about as done as it's going to be for now. I'm starting to doubt that it's less work, but hopefully the hard part is done. I will plant corn early this next week.

6. Roma tomato & cucumbers are blossoming already. Yay!

7. Strawberries are steadily putting out more leaves for the most part. I think what's left will last, although I certainly won't get any berries this year. I was told on Gardenweb that I shouldn't use the growing bags. I think I will try to keep them happy now that it's summer, and put them in a huge pot this fall.
