Looks great Shirl. You definitely have a “green thumb.”

Sandi, I use Miracle Grow potting soil, buy plants so I only need to water pots. Think soil is the secret. I did plant sugar snap pea seeds which have sprouted in a week. Was told they are cool weather plants so do not hold out much hope for success. Will try those again in the fall.

Well, not apartment gardening, but mobile home front yard gardening. People notice.

Shirl before I forget next spring plant the peas earlier in the spring depending upon if you freeze or not you can really plant them early on...
Liz was so excited when I read about your gardening award (read it earlier on FB) you so deserve it... you have a beautiful garden... I'd love to see it one day
