Here in the nc mtns, we have had a long cool spring too. Now it is hot at 80 degrees with evenings of 65. Plants all doing ok...I don't have a knack at gardening, but I sure love it. I learn something about gardening every yr. And my 90 yo native neighbor gives me advice.

My hostas and ferns grow very well in the sun! But my astibees and helborus only thrive in shade. My maters are ok with no early blight YET. My cabbage, brussel sprouts, brocoli are now worthless due to insects. Black raspberries are just about ripe and ready to pick. Yum...my favorite berry. Planted taters for first time (in a big bucket) and they must be growing (got instruction via YouTube).

God is good and His love is evident when I garden.

God reveals Himself in His creation. I love gardening too and feel closer to Him when I’m tending it. I have a lot of wild blackberries on the property too and I love them but they are terribly brambly.
