Important things to know and understand Part 2

Most people understand that when starting a garden of any kind there is a certain amount of patience that is needed. The seeds won't sprout over night (usually). The flower won't open the day the bloom appears either. But something else I have learned this past week is that there are other cases where patience in the garden is important. Once again I had to move one of my tomato plants and it appeared to be dying. One to many transplants. But before I got around to pulling the very wilted and dying plant I noticed that it seemed to be coming back to life. A little pruning and care and it's back.

I have expecially noticed this with herbs. As long as you leave the bottom set of leaves when you harvest sure enough they grow back....and sometimes ever bigger and faster than before. Mint is a good one to describe cause you can cut that one back to the ground and new life will begin to grow with in days.

Does your Mint look like it died? Cut as much back as you can...leave a few little spikes above the dirt give it some watering....and wait.

For a new gardener like me waiting is the hardest part. I see the corn....but it's not ready to pick yet. I see the blooms and know that most likely the veggie or fruit will come from that.....but how?

It is very true. Good things do come to those who wait.
