This is what the gardens looked like on June 18th
The impatience along the front sidewalk.

On the other side of the sidewalk. Yellow daisies. Not blooming (too much water?)

Mailbox base. This is a flower/vine mix that is designed for around a mailbox

This is the tomato garden. Prior to ~June 1, one raised bed had lettuce, one had spinach. The spinach came up but did not grow. The lettuce did fantastically and gave us 22 salads.Yellow marigolds protected crops from animals. Hot peppers (ghost, jalapeno and banana) are growing among the front marigolds. There are three pots of marigolds (yellow) from last year and three pots of saffron.
