I am growing stuff

I win. I can kill cactus. So when I planted daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and crocuses, I was not sure that they would be able to overcome my death thumb. BUT THEY ARE GROWING. If this little bed of awesome is successful, I'm going to plant bulbs all over the freaking place.

I hope these little dudes know it's still February.

Fresh Corn On The Cob

My mom and I planted a gorgeous garden this year. I can't wait for my own garden at my new home. For the first time, we tried out corn. I think it was a success!




The proof will be in eating it, of course.

Anyone gardening? What are you growing? My mom's garden includes corn, melons, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes by the droves, green beans.

Flowers in Bloom

The past week's weather has been interesting. From rain and hail storms, temperatures down to the 40-50s F to bright, hot sun and temperatures in the 80s. Not our usual northern California May weather. The plants and flowers have not been liking the extra rain. Gardeners aren't either. It increases mold, fungus and mildew and decreases the growing potential of different veggies and fruits, especially melons. It's nice to see normal May weather - 80s!

I took some photos of flowers growing in my mom's garden. The flowers were stretching hard to reach the sun and pollinating insects. When the veggie garden we planted is in full swing, I'll take pictures. They're just babies now. We've got melons, tomatoes, corn, peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, and chilis. Yum!
