I now have six tiny parsnips germinating (vs. 4 last week), but if they poop out soon from the heat, I’ll survive, & count the days till fall-ish. :-)

Tomato plants (from seed) coming along well so far, as are the Sugar Baby watermelons (my sister gave me some more seeds out of sympathy). So far no blister beetles or gophers.

Gotta keep an eye on myself, so that my small victories don’t give me a swelled head!

Watch out on the milk-fertilizing in very warm climates. You may end up growing some mushrooms in potted things. I use a milk/water mix for my indoor flowering plants in the winter months and I’ve had some fungal growth in the past!

The yellow mushrooms are easily picked out of the soil and tossed. Just to be safe, I wouldn’t eat them, LOL!
