It is Growing

Some of the plants in our yard.

 Two of the many Columbines between the garage and our house.  They are pretty perennials that are attractive from early in the spring until mid-summer.  After that the seeds are spread.  Stems and leaves are old.  They look pretty ugly.   When cut down at this time, new lush leaves will begin to grow.

Yesterday morning, we planted these Wave petunias that we bought at Hansen nursery near Payson.  We planted them in front of the bay windows on the north side of our house.  This is the first time in years that we have had to buy bedding plants.

We have had this salvia perennial for years.  It blooms every year at the end of May.  It frequently reseeds its self.  Some we have to remove.

I have been closely watching the tough plant.  it is a Stansbury Rock-daisy, Perityle stansburyi.  Such a pretty lime colored perennial.

A couple of weeks ago I bought these Crimson Sweet watermelon seeds.  There are four jumbo six packs.  I planted on seed in each cell.  With a few seeds left over they became the second seed in some of the cells.  They are doing well

These six cucumber plants are producing a lot of foot long seedless cucumbers.  They are visible in the above photo.  The vines are over five feet tall.

Some of the cucumber plants in house one are over twelve inches tall.  I saw one cucumber about and inch long.  In a couple weeks they should be producing cucumbers.   Neither one has been hooked to the twine trellis.

 Above are some of the vine crops, ieg, melons, squash, etc.

I ordered these strawberry plants several months ago.  They should have been planted three months ago.

The above tomato plants are in house one.  The weeds were really bad so I sprayed them with roundup.  I sprayed the weeds in the pathway and on weeds between the two rows of tomato plants. Some of the spray got on the lower leaves of a couple of plants.  It looks like they are dying.

I planted this sweet potato start early in April.  I thought that it had died.  Today there is some new leaves.  It has survived snow, frost, and drought.
