Red sunflowers are up! I thinned the watermelon seedlings to their final numbers now that they're showing growth beyond their baby leaves. Zucchini are starting to really grow. Beans too; I'm beginning to see buds. Mine are a hard bean rather than green beans, so we'll see how many I actually get from half a bed of planting. Sunchokes and green onions are going wild. Raspberries beginning to bloom. Last year's buffalo-grass experiment is showing signs of life, too - I need to pull weeds and water them, but the plugs are alive and growing in. I'll siphon the ducks' paddling tank tomorrow and use its water to feed my fruit trees. It's probably too soon to see results, but I'd swear my apricot and mulberries are showing more growth even after two weeks of duck-water fertilizer. #highDesertGardening #gardening
