My All Blues potatoes are starting to bloom and they are really pretty my sage is doing well also, they both have such pretty flowers it's a added bonus we get to eat from them also or maybe it's the other way around :) All Blues Sage

Hey wifezillia, my peas just started flowering last week (Fri) and some of them are very tall also, I think it may be our cooler and wetter than usual season and your good duck compost, they were just enjoying the extended grow time. I have some volunteer pea plants in the south garden and...

That looks geat wifezillia, love the decorative stuff.

Patience--that has been the biggest lesson this year. Squishing cutworms is really kinda fun. Greenhouses are not for growing plants during the summer :rolleyes: As soon as I decide those cuke seeds I planted arent't coming up and I plant more the first ones all pop up

I'm so sorry to hear about your garden. Mother Nature can be a real pain sometimes. It is depressing after all the hard work you put in. My gardens dried out pretty well and some pole beans are popping up, so keep some hope. I'll be sending you warm, dry sunny thoughts... :coolsun :coolsun...

Well we have water now and a new meter. When they turned the water back on there was so much pressure it broke the filler up thingamijiggy(I'm very good with technical terms :gig) in one of the toilets. But other than that and the huge hole still on the corner of the property, things are good...

As some of you may have seen in my post on another thread we here in CO have had a challenging spring this year. While I've not been really pleased with the cold temps, late snows, cutworms,hail and torrential downpours, I have tried to look on the bright side, the prairie is green and...

Hi all Went out to the gardens this morning and all is not lost by a long shot. Since the taters havent bloomed yet I should be ok there (I think) and the maters were of course protected by walls o water although some of the tops that were poking out are stripped by the hail. The bush beans...

Hattie, Glad the damage wasn't too bad and you think all will recover :ya :clap

Gardengirl I saw that on the news. I hope things dry out for you. I replanted some seeds now I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

Oh Hattie I hope everything will be ok :fl :fl I promise I didn't send any hail your way just good warm dry calm sunny thoughts coming your way :coolsun :coolsun :coolsun Thank goodness you got to the little ones in time

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment I planted more squash seeds this afternoon, I am determined to get a least 1 freakin zuchinni!! Man I never thought I would be saying that!!

vfem, your post is making me hungry :drool Wow your garden sounds delightful. I'm really glad your tomatoes are doing better, keep up the good work :weight sounds like you are going to have a wonderful harvest :tools :watering

Where abouts are you located GreenGoddess?

Thanks wifezillia, but I think I'm good on seeds. There has just been so much water and no I can't raise it now as the worst area is roughly 400 sq ft, I have been trying to rearrange the dirt (mud) but don't like to be in there when it is so wet, compacting issues and disease spread issues...

I do think about what it must have felt like in years gone by to know that winter may be looking really bleak at this point. Greensage, it was like that when we had the drought here, you could see the rain and lighting and hope it got close enough to do something but it would go away usually...

Thank you for all the sweet thoughts. I'm trying to stay positive, because there just isn't anything you can do about the weather gotta roll with the punches or the hail.... Last year we had no rain until August and very hot temps and a couple years before that we were suffering a drought and...

I quit :barnie My garden is now under water.... :hit Friday night we had a terrible storm so much rain and of course it seems no storm in Colorado lately is complete with out a inch or two of hail. Yesterday we got more heavy rains and againthis afternoon heavy rains. There is just nowhere...

Well I'm glad to know my melons aren't the only ones not doing anything. We have had alot of rain and cool temps, the rain is great but we could use some warmth, it is still down in the 40's at night. I think I'll try to come up with some kind of mini greenhouse, maybe I'll try cutting plastic...

Sounds like flea beetles, did they jump? I don't know if De will work on them if your plants are good size chances are they probably won't do enough damage to make a difference, the plants just won't look real good.
