Day 48

Ok, so it is pretty slow going out there. I look at my plants every day, a few times a day, each time expecting (more like HOPING) to see some huge growth spurt, a plant to have grown 5" since the last time I looked or something. I think next year I will go half and half on the flowers. I will do some by seed and intersperse others from a nursery. That way my beds won't feel so bare for so long. There IS progress, all my flowers are at least an inch high now and some of the cut flower mixes are about 4" high, but most remain in the inch range. Sigh.... The corn that has germinated is already a good 5" tall. I have replanted the missing stalks for yet a THIRD time and hope to see them grow next week. Dang birds.
