Acter they started coming on strong I hit them with a little Vitamin B and they are certainly responding well. If i get a drcent harvest this year I might just build me some raised beds and do it right.

The real reason for raised beds is to keep from bending over so far.

That is exactly my reasoning.

I bought clearance roses at the end of the season. Planted them and only touch them when I need to prune. Plants do a lot better when I don't try to kill them.

Might look into the Mittleider Method. Dr. Mittleider is all about measurements and what-not.
I'm reading this right now, it's pretty good.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MSTZHIU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497253454&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=mittleider+gardening+course+book

A little flower blossoms forth
On every hill and dale,
The emblem of the Pioneers
Upon the rugged trail;
The Pioneers have asked it
And we could deny them not;
So the emblem of Alaska
Is the blue Forget-me-not.

I'll take a look. I have a blue orchid I think I'm killing. I'm not sure if it's too much water or not enough.
The roses are still great. 8 years and they pretty much take care of themselves.

So far this year nothing is dead!! Well, the flowers fell off the orchid, but that is supposed to happen (I'm pretty sure). I need to cut the stems and leaves back.
My outside plants are alive, the ones I need to water. It rained today which was good. A great start to the summer.

The first of the corn is forming tassels, the sketchy rows are back on track for the mid-end of August. The tomatoes are happy and I'll have green beans in another week. Everything else is a little behind, but is coming out of the kinks nicely so ... it's the little things that matter.

My corn plants look to be dying.... I gave everyone a dose of B12 with their water last week and everyone seems to be doing well but the corn is not looking good at all. I'm afraid I have killed them. I'm pruning in hopes to save at least a couple stalks.
The zucchini and yellow squash are going like gang busters though. Fruit is starting to form, so thats a plus. Bell peppers are still lagging far behind.

so many huge tomatoes, lots of peppers, and 5 watermelons so far on the one plant and growing like crazy; we've had bush beans coming out our ears, the tomatilloes are great in his salsas, the okra and the cukes and the pattypan, though we didn't use hardly any bergamot (i think) and lots of the bok choi bolted. Broccoli looks about done with, though the leeks, carrots, and potatoes are still growing away underground.
i forgot the blueberries, which are almost done, and the logan/blackberries which are ripening with some already picked, baked, and eaten fresh. the blueberry waffles were to die for, and the fruits were pretty good on the crepes, too.
