mid-may

the flowers are blooming and in the front yard, will likely continue to do so till mid-June, because of the shade of the large (unknown type) tree we have in the front yard. in the back, the grass is rising from the dust, the sunflowers are now about 10-12 ft tall, and the pumpkin(?) is setting fruit.
I planted a "mr. stripey" tomato plant on the east side of the west garden (say that ten times fast!) and it's as tall as Jessica. my lettuces are now going to seed and they look disturbingly like dandelion seeds...
i have volunteer cornstalks interspersed with the pumpkin and it came from the molded chicken scratch grains...go figure. i'm drying raddish sheeds on the back porch and i'll have enough to do several plantings next year...anyone want some seeds?
i had a drip line hose system that just wasnt cutting it for any of the garden, so I switched to a soaker hose laid on the ground and tapped into my yard sprinkler system for automatic watering...now, I have more time to enjoy my garden instead of worry about it.
