Finally....
I've been watching my neighbors' lilies flower. Day lilies, other lilies, fancy lilies--all different colors, styles, etc., but they have flowers. It's depressing. Finally, this morning, I saw one bloom on one stem. Very encouraging.
We've already eaten lettuce from our garden. Lettuce is one thing I can grow. The rabbits (or groundhog) eat it, too. I'll probably have to plant another few seeds, though, because I don't know if the other plants will come back.
My tomato plants mostly look pathetic. One of them looks okay. I think I grew it from a bigger pot. It actually looks healthy.
This is the first year my sugar snap peas will probably not yield. The ones in the sun are dying because the groundhog (or rabbit) keeps eating the leaves. Or maybe because they're getting too much sun. The ones in the raised bed are dying because someone (rabbit or groundhog again, I assume) keeps eating their leaves. Next year I'll plant them in the shade again. They seemed to do well there.
On a positive note, I still have blueberries and I think they are considering turning blue. Caging the bushes was a good idea, but as my husband says, I probably could have bought blueberries for the next 50 years for what I've spent on bushes and fencing.
