Garden 101: Hits and Misses


So far, one week with our garden, we have learned...

1. Hot and sticky weather loves...
Zucchini
Cumbers
Pumpkins
As they seem to have grown by leaps and bounds!

2. On the other hand.... Hot and sticky weather hates...
Tomatoes
All, of the tomato plants we had started in the cool dry house that did REALLY well, fried quick and are now invisible. Well, So much for Salsa and sauces.

3. Turkeys love...
sweet corn seeds
Since I have only one stalk growing. Really well too. I think I will be trying again soon. I just saw on the news local farmers just got some of their crops in.

4. Some animal enjoys...
Cantaloupe
As they are nibbled on almost down to the stem.

5. Local birds enjoy...
The water puddles created by our sprinkler. We had an oriole, Cardinal and blue bird taking turns in the garden. Flying into and out of the puddles.
