Pretty Flowers, Baby Tomatoes, and Sad Corn


I have my first baby tomatoes and many many blooms on several plants, my cucumbers have began to vine and my broccoli and brussel sprouts are getting big. My squash and zucchini are growing very nicely and leafing out, and my eggplant is finally big enough to plant in the garden.

The azalea my Nana gave me from cuttings of hers is blooming now. I thought it would not bloom because usually azaleas bloom early, but buds showed up about a week ago and it now has lovely blooms. My roses are in full fragrant bloom. My lilies are budding and my gladiolas are getting nice and tall.

The garden is doing very well, except for the corn, it is yellow, some is withered and I have no clue why or how to help it. I emailed the MSU extension service and am waiting to hear back from them. I am making sure to keep it watered. It makes me sad because I love corn especially fresh corn, but if I can't grow it I have a friend whose Dad farms and I can still get some fresh corn from him if mine doesn't work out.
