Well, we had some casualties (grr sea grape & allamanda are gone) but even the marigolds (in flower pots) in the garden made it. Tomatoes, green beans, & okra are doing great! I don’t know what happened with the turnips & beets. Turnips were great last year & none of them made it. Beets failed last year & looking good this year. I pulled one up (they should be ready), but the bulbs are just shriveled up. Not enough water?
I’m going to pull the carrots before we go back. The tops look ready, so we’ll see.

The grass is about a foot high.

God Bless everyone & have a great week!

I am often mistified by why plants do great one year and not the next and vice versa. Sometimes I figure it out, other times it remains a mystery.
