Kassia that is just a crime. I hope you can get second crop, for you this time. It is so discouraging this year for many reasons. Rained hard again yesterday and beat down everything again. Could have been worse is the only way to keep from screaming, sections of Ma had lots of damage from one storm with trees down, a big mess so I should not complain. It just is getting really old trying to prop up plants, collect slugs by the hundreds and now the crabgrass seems to want to take over the world. Like we needed one more thing to drive you nuts. Slug patrol produced fewer slimy slugs, but you would think they would be all gone after so many taken and smushed. It is all very discouraging. Pic is of slugs about to meet their maker from one bed this am. And I went out a little late to snag them too. More to get tomorrow, and the next day and...well there are some beautiful flowers and butterflies and lovely fragrance from some of the lilies so I guess we must try to focus on the things that are good in the garden, and of course there is always next season with new challenges and plants to see bloom for the first time.
