The potatoes are vining, but the sweet potatoes (which went in pretty late) are just getting going. Matt’s watermelon plants seem to be slow starters, too. The summer squash already has 2″ vegetables on it, so hopefully the squirrels leave them alone. We have 60 irises, and a front garden full of gigantic pink and white peonies. Everything is perfect right now, so let’s keep it that way.<\/li>\n
