Water Stress

My sweet corn always seemed to be water stressed even though I water everyday. I read somewhere that soaker hoses should be used for the corn. So, I gathered up every soaker hose I could find and put them up and down every row of corn. The corn is doing much better now. My potatoes are concerning me a bit. The bigger plants already have mature potatoes under them but the smaller plants don't seem to be growing. Not quite sure why. All my tomatoes are doing great except one. It started to wilt and turn yellow. I'm wondering if a gopher disturbed it. I have broccoli everywhere. The plants are getting big but no broccoli yet. Carrots and green onions are doing good but growing very slowly. I can't wait to reap the benefits of all my efforts.

I love my gardens

I just want to document all my garden trials and errors. I love to garden. My flower gardens are always changing. My vegetable garden is different every year.
