I'm a horrible blogger...

So yeah, it's been well over a month since I updated. Life is definitely getting in the way of gardening this year. I'm to the point where if I can get half the stuff planted that I hoped to this weekend, I'll be doing well. I'm having a major surgery next week, and so this week it's a scramble to take all my finals early and get the house (and garden) in order as best I can before Tuesday. Not a fun week...but I do like to keep my mind off this surgery, so that aspect of this crazy week is working.

Anyway, back to the garden. I've lost quite a few plants this year, and I'm not sure if it's the setup I have as far as the growing "container" since it seems to have unequal distribution of water (some cells stay wet and others get bone dry within a couple of days). Who knows...I'm hoping to get a lot of the stuff repotted this weekend (like petunias, which are still too small to get outside).

Okay, so here are some pictures...it's misleading how much they have grown since it's been so long, but I can still be proud. :)

Peppers and Tomatoes

Dead and dying Salvia and healthy gaillardia (far right)




Overcrowded petunias




From left to right, marigolds, dichondra, zinnias, and impatiens

I have lots more (especially violets), but they're not doing much of anything right now.

I'll try to update when the garden and flower beds are up and going.
