It’s starting to feel like the height of summer is here. We have plenty of plums and peaches that our neighbors and friends have shared with us. They are fresh and sweet too.
Best of all, the flowers I planted in my mom’s garden has finally started to bloom now. This is my first time growing Dahlias from seeds. They don’t really have a floral scent to it. I think they are really pretty, especially the ones with stripes.
But unfortunately all the Gladiolus bulbs I planted in late spring didn’t make it. The leaves just turned brown after I thought a bud was forming. When I went to touch it, the leaves just fell off the bulb. Gladiolus has always been very easy to grow in the past. Maybe there is a gopher that’s been eating my bulbs? Oh well, better luck next year.
