I have neglected the blog, and don't remember how to do some  things  like  transferring photos to here, I probably could figure it out but  it is to much trouble.  Google says  I changed my password 4 months  ago  , I don't remember doing that ??

 The garden is growing , slowly ,  we had a  cold April, and did not get the garden planted till mid to late April.  Then  we did not have rain and it went to 90+ ' in May , many days and now that it is June it is still  in the 90's  and no rain.   I water with the rain barrel water , but  it is just to hot. The carrots  did not come up , Brad bought me new seeds  I have planted  those  May 21  they did not come up so today 6-6-18 I have  planted  carrots  for a  third  time.  I  also replanted  Cilantro  and Dill as the dill did not come up and there are only  5 tiny plants  of Cilantro.    My tomatoes  and peppers look " great",  I got those from  Lorri,  the pepper have lots of flowers  and there are lots of flowers  on tomatoes  and  there are  small tomatoes already.    Lorri also sent sweet potatoes, french bush beans and Kolhrobi.  Those  are all planted and appear to be doing well,   she also sent cucumbers and if I keep those  watered they look great.  I planted  pie pumpkin 2 hills  and  2 hills of  giant  pumpkins.   Only 1 hill of pie pumpkin came up so I went  " nuts" and planted 4 more hills of pie pumpkin in flower area by garden and down in a  corner of pasture , they are all up and  doing well.   Then because those were slow to germinate ,  I got  worried and planted the remaining  19 pie pumpkin seeds  that I had in cups,  and you guessed it they all germinated.  So  I  offered  Kaylea  some  and planted  5 hills  at the Boone Master Gardener  Community Garden, and so far those look good.

I have tried to expand my herbs,  still have  Chives, Sage ,mint that are established,  I planted new this year, Lemon Balm, Yarrow- Red and yellow , Lemon Grass and Stevia.  Then in my herb planter I have Basil, rosemary, parsley , and a small planter  with Thyme and Oregano.    

 So I keep the garden hoed, and weed free, I have used cut up 5 gal pails around the tomatoes and peppers, to help hold water in , also mulched  with grass clippings.

  Will try to see if I can figure out the photo thing.
