Flowers are nice, and I am trying to grow some from seed, using poor garden soil, but you cannot eat them! For that, I started some tomato plants from seed about 3 weeks ago, which are slowly growing under growlight and some limited sun. Also one box has some 4th of July toms from a neighbor that I transplanted late week from an ego crate. I need to invest on making my own potting soil.

Meanwhile, I just finished breaking up the fallow ground, and raked the bottom portion, plus trying to seal leaks in some rain barrels (saves the LL money on the H20 bill). But planting is still about 3 weeks away, meaning from sowing to planting is about 6 weeks. I would like to get about 400lbs of cow manure compost, but do not think I should be spending that much of the Lord's money on the garden (we buy very little veggies). Thanks and praise be to God from what I can do.

Plants look very good. Nice to see your post.

Say, WHAT? But, I know what you mean; not a LOT of nutrition (except Dandelion) but Food for the Soul! Nothing prettier in a salad or in a cracker dip or cookies or jelly or vinegar, etc.

Daniel Glad you have an opportunity to get your garden in this year! Looks like a good start!
