Daily Gardening

This is the first day I am writing in my daily gardening site.  I put in the heading daily gardening in hopes of making myself do at least one thing in the garden each day.  Then in hopes of making some progress each day, I hope to write about it in order to have a record of my planting dates and whatever else I do in the garden.  To say one thing in the garden sounds very minimal but when you have a job and the garden is a hobby some days all that can get done is minimal at best.  Then again I will spend the whole day out in the garden on occasion as time permits but the idea is to learn a little more about the role of gardening each day.  

Today I have come home from a very busy week of work doing every thing chimneys or what I like to call "ETC".  This means I won't go out to the garden to do much as I need my body to rest up from all my hard labor.  So I took out the camera and got a picture of my Dahlia's that I planted from seed early spring and transplanted to the garden after danger of frost.  They have stayed healthy all summer and have bloomed some but they are just now starting to bloom in abundance.  So I got a picture or two of my Dahlia's and the butterfly that seemed to be not the least bit interested in my camera so I got a close up of it and the Dahlia's. 

  I also took a picture of the I told you so blueberry bush that was planted this spring.  This was a healthy bush when I planted it and now you can see the way it is looking in the heat of August.  Now I have to say it was told me by many a good sources on the internet not to add sulfur when you plant.  Did I listen?  No!  Well it is a good picture for the record books of an overdose of sulfur.  I don't think all is a loss as I was told by an expert to cut it back and so I did as this would stimulate the plant into putting out new growth.  And I am happy to say it is doing just that.  I am keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes it will survive the summer and then get its life come next spring.  I did plant two for cross pollination one is Tiftblue and the other is Elliot.  The Elliot is doing well but I need the two in order to produce berries.  The expert said if I planted the bush in one part soil and three parts peat moss it would have been fine.  I hope this has a happy ending.

The pictures of the tomatoes is to show how well they have done.  I really like how they have produced so many per vine.  I have had fun putting this together for whoever wants to read it and hope you can give me some input on what you have to say about all this gardening stew.  have a safe and blessed day.
