The garden jury is still out. Do you want the bad news or the good news first? O.K., we'll end with the good news.... The red headed cardinals are eating the corn seeds out from underneath the stalks. The Anaheim peppers will not sprout. We had to replant 3/4 of the beans because nothing grew. The transplanted tomatoes and green peppers aren't flourishing. The beans that are growing have holes eaten in the leaves. Word on the street is that snails are to blame. Who named this place the garden isle anyway? They probably never even tried to grow a garden. The good news is.... We bought a bird net to fight the red headed cardinals and we replanted the corn that was sabotaged. We are going to go on a spotlighting snail hunt soon. We bought some already sprouted anaheim pepper plants. The tomatoes and green peppers aren't dead...yet. The lettuce, onions, carrots and green onions all look good. Best of all I bought the girls cute garden gloves and Kyleigh got a new pair of rubber boots. Katelyn inherited Kyky's old ones. So, they look really cute in our struggling little garden. Wish us luck, we need it.
