Nice here ... the next few days. My azaleas look so colorful! I wanted to dig them up because they're not growing! They're the same size as when we put them in 3 years ago! They're not getting FULL or TALLER. But WOW the color factor is awesome! We need to hire a Landscaping designer..... $$$$$. we have the delimma of full sun on one side of the house & complete shade on the opposite - FRONT of the house. It's a nightmare to someone that wants everything balanced! So we went with mostly evergreens and on the shady side - our great Oak tree just sucks the water out! The other side gets too hot.... UGH!!!!!!!!!!! And the crap that falls from the great Oak tree gets ALL into our rubber mulch - sux!

Temperature still struggling to get past 50 degrees here during the day. It has been dropping to only a little over freezing at night but the forecast now says nights should not drop below 40 so we have planted some tomatoes and peas. Not sure if we'll bother with much else. Last year we ate all our crop of carrots at one meal, barely an inch and a half long. We only got one cucumber out of about ten so seems a lot of effort for little reward

Oh ha! YB. Keep the faith. Here we don’t plant tomatoes til first if May.
Our first garden: 26 tomato plants 2 rows of corn 2 rows potatoes row of green beans & 1/2 rows strawberries cucumbers green peppers lettuce carrots onions...
our corn didn’t grow. The lettuce was eaten and everything else did great.... AND WE HAVEN’T GARDENED SINCE. We do 5 tomato plants w/ basil each year. [emoji1844][emoji534][emoji1837]

I remember one year I wanted a garden. I ordered seeds and plants from a fancy (read expensive) garden catalog and had my husband get a portion of the back yard ready. Long story short ~ after the vegetables had started growing and looking great we had a rain/wind storm that demolished my lovely looking garden. What the wind didn’t destroy was so water logged it wasn’t fit for pig consumption. That was the first and last time I tried to grow a vegetable garden…
