2nd cloneing attempt


I tried cloneing a rose directly in the ground. It died very quickely. I am going to try again in a more controled envoirnemt. I mixed the rooting hormone in the vase water and when I

begin to see roots form I will add a couple tablespoons of soil each day to hep prevent shock on the roots.

Next project


Time to start building the fence on the other side of the house so the dog and kids will be completely trapped. There is a ton of work to do before I can even start.

Flowers for the fence


I planted my morning glory and moonflower plants today along the fence line. I am crossing my fingers that I didnt distrub the roots too much because I know they dont like that. I used my compost as mulch on the top.

Tomatos starting to flower


I gave my tomatos some fertalizer last week that was rather high in phosporous and they are growing very fast now. Two of them are starting to flower. I cant wait for my first tomato!

Knee high by July?


Somebody told me you will have a good corn crop if it is knee high by July. Its well on its way. Its already up to Ella's knees.

strawberries


Here is a little strawberry that is almost ripe. I have had a few but they keep disappearing. I figure it must be Ella or the birds.
