The garden is growing, although not as quickly or as well as I would like. I can't grow peas or beans to save my life. I read somewhere they don't like water directly on their leaves, so I've been careful, to no avail. Then I read somewhere else that you should inoculate the seeds before you plant them. Too late. I'm just certain I won't get a crop from them. Eh, next year.
Growing well: tomatoes, watermelon, lettuce and spinach, carrots (slowly), the marigolds I planted from seed finally blossomed, and we've been eating little strawberries. Oh, and the asparagus sent up two tiny stalks that promptly blossomed.
Not so much: the herbs minus the basil, the aforementioned peas and beans, the salvia and Jacob's ladder I planted to encourage pollinators, and some of the strawberries.
Grow watermelon, grow!
