Happy Sunday ladies!

skategirl128, Did your zucchini start growing?

Still fighting with the deer/rabbit in my front gardens. I think I may have given up on those. Veggie garden is doing well overall. Will definitely be reducing the amount of squash/zucchini plants next year!

Dahlias and Zinnias starting to bloom here!

Looking lovely grneyes! My zinnias were blooming so lovely but all been devoured by friggin snails&slugs now My dahlias are coming up nicely though! My garden feels like it's a bit stuck in a rut (like I am lol) - some of the early summer bloomers are now done but the late bloomers aren't quite there yet.

muscari, Ugh, it's always a battle with the critters. I spent most of last summer digging up slugs out of one of my gardens since they destroyed some flowers, yuck. Glad to hear your Dahlias are coming up too! I'm waiting on some other late bloomers as well.

Those are so pretty grneyes!

Still no zucchini! I feel like I'm on a crusade about this! Every time my grandma helper brings me zucchini it's like the plant mocks me. So many big beautiful flowers on that plant and not one zucchini. I'm stumped!

I work today so I'll post pics of my other things tomorrow

skategirl128, I once tried to grow zucchini as well and had the same, it had beautiful large flowers but none of them grew into veggies

I have attack of the killer weeds over here... I really wanted to not use chemicals, but I have tried organic stuff from home depot, a pinterest recipe, and straight vinegar. They're like the freaking cockroaches of weeds! I think they'd live on the moon if they could.
