How does your garden grow!

My poor garden...
She did not know what to do with all the rain
and cool temps...
So, she sat and waited, and waited, and waited
for a sunny day or three or four.

Spinach bolted - right away...
I'm thinking I'll try a different variety.

Could'a sewn rows and rows of Romaine...and leaf lettuce...

But, didn't.
Woops!
I do have edible Violas!
 
Adventuregurl and I had a lovely salad with violas as an embellishment.
Quite nice.
Did you know Bachelor Buttons are edible?
I read that they are
- so -
I planted some

 Isn't this pea blossom lovely...?
Can't wait to taste those peas...
I have no idea what kind they are.
I planted so many seeds
that didn't sprout
or
the birds ate them
or
they were laying in the dirt
waiting....
to feel the warm sun

Lots of seeds were sprouted, had lovely first and sometimes second leaves.
Then, they were 
devoured 
by
the
slugs.
Great.
I'm a slug farmer.

veggies....
