[quote=Anonymous]PP again who recommended patience. One more thing. Focus more on soil than plants right now. You should be preparing the soil. Have you tilled it? Are you composting or purchasing aged composted manure? Add some superfine as well. How will you water your garden? Overhead watering is not best as it creates issues with disease/pests, etc. Get yourself a soaker hose and a timer and plan to put that down next spring so that you aren't stuck in the garden all summer watering. First year sleeping, second year creeping, third year leaping. Your plants will be spending the first two years building a root system so don't worry if not much is happening above ground. If you invest in good soil ammendments and an irrigation system you will have a lush garden in a few years.[/quote]
