Late Spring 2010 Impressions – My Garden with Pictures and the Top 3 Reasons You Should Be Gardening
I’ve been rather slow getting to all the various items of this, the spring 2010 season and My Garden was definitely something I’ve been looking forward to since the end of the fall season. Last year’s Garden was a big success and I was hoping to see even more improvement. So without further ado, here’s my impression post about My Garden.
Rating for first couple weeks of gardening – 12/12 Perfect
Anticipation Level: 5/5 Very High
The Story
March and April saw some heat and it made me almost jump the gun and start planting but it’s a good thing I waited. A chilly May saw lows routinely dip below 40 degrees F and forced any thought of planting to the last week of May. Last year’s experiment of trying to grow pumpkins and corn in the same bed together was not repeated this year; instead, the focus will be on growing corn and getting corn shocks to use for Halloween decorating. Peppers made a comeback this year, proving no plant is dropped forever. Also making a surprise return appearance is Dusty Miller. Other than that many of the flowers are well-known returnees, being grown from seeds collected at the end of last year.
The Fine Print
So far everything looks good. The wild animals have behaved themselves. So far there’s been no sign of the groundhog living under my neighbor’s back porch or the rabbits living in the brush a couple of lots over or the deer that wander over from the park or the squirrels that like to dig holes and uproot plants.
The germination rate has been outstanding so far. The home-grown seeds once again prove their superiority to store-bought seeds. Though the store-bought seeds have been doing good themselves. So, it’s a very impressive start to My Garden and it deserves a perfect score. Pictures follow:
One day this'll be a tall stalk of corn.
And this'll be pretty cosmos in a couple of months.
And these tomato plants are already making tomatoes

So I ended winning my second round match-up against Bokutachi no Blog and advance to the third round and face Unmei Kaihen. Since I won, I will honor my promise to review any one randomly picked show from people that voted for me but so far I don’t have any candidates (I’m not sure if zzeroparticle was serious). Therefore, if you have a show, no matter how bad, that you want me to review and you voted for me then please leave a comment on which show you want.
And if this post seems like an odd one, it was inspired by this post.
