I haven't taken any pictures because I put DE at the base of my plants and it looks so ugly

But, the hollyhocks are still growing and growing! Most of the first true leaves to show are now US quarter sized, and the second true leaves are on their way.

In a week or two, I'll plant my snap beans and go check out the tomatoes at the local nursery and pick up one or two (husband says one, I want two, we'll see what we have room for). The satsuma has so many buds on it, I can't wait until they bloom since it's never bloomed before! And my jalapeno has at least 15 blossoms in various stages on it, if not more.

I love this time of year, it's like the honeymoon phase with plants before the bugs start coming out and the heat really kicks in.
