ThatÂs a very nice, organized little garden you have. Give it some time. Most vegetables take a couple of months or more to produce. Patience is what gardening has taught me. Although that fence is providing wind protection, it may be shading your plants too much. They need AT LEAST 6 hours of sun. The more, the better. The exception is lemon balm which likes the shade. You may want to gently move the peppers and tomatoes back into pots if theyÂre not too big and try a container garden that can be moved to a sunnier spot in your yard. You may also want to invest in a moisture meter (Home Depot or Lowes usually has them). How much water they need depends upon how much light, heat and wind exposure your plants get. Also, IÂve seen many forum members on various sites complaining about chilly spring weather. That may have slowed growth. Tomatoes (and peppers) donÂt like cold weather. IÂd take it easy on the fertilizer until theyÂre a bit bigger. Too much ferts can fry a seedling. Good luck!

In my fantasy world with huge large gardens, I have a rounded house half dug into the earth and topped with lush green grass - sprinkled with meadow flowers. The door would be made of wood and it would have a nice window to peep out of. under each window there would be plantings of colourful blooms that last all thru the season. Nearby a grape vine hangs over a trellis - dripping with ripe fruit. of course there must be a brook bubbling nearby with a large tree growing by its banks. Japanese primulas covering the area. A little wooden bridge crosses over it. Oh well -- that's my fairyland fantasy garden. Can't wait to see those pictures.

helenh, What hosta place was it? There are a couple of places for hostas: Posted by MOimpatientgirl: "I second the vote for hostas, also possibly begonias. Believe it or not, mine always come back, yes the little cheap 6-packs from WM, as long as they are semi-protected by even just leaves from last fall. If you REALLY want motivation, you should visit the Garden of Dreams (AKA Honeybranch Cave), out east of Sparta. It's off of Hwy 14 right before the Christian/Douglas county line. There's a sign. Go down the gravel road a mile or two. They sell hostas and other stuff. But they have a really large area (several acres) that is terraced with every kind of hosta imaginable, plus lots of other stuff thrown in. Definitely made a hosta-believer out of me! I think they're pretty much always open, even though it might look like they aren't." Garden of Dreams at Honeybranch Cave, on Missouri 14 near Elkhead (22 miles east of Ozark).
