So here's the update... rosemary is doing very well, as is cilantro and my blueberries. The daisy flowers all died, but the roots remained green. I purchased 2 water globes and plugged them into the plants. I feel that this is helping because I see new flowers budding. I purchased some organic soil with natural fertilizers in it last week. I mixed this with the soil I already had to create a more nutritious ground. I also purchased a generic topsy turvy tomato planter. This turned into a topsy turvy mess. I came home to find it smashed and busted open on the ground in front of my house. (sigh) failure!

I planted cucumber, per suggestion by huppiemama. This is doing quite well. The bud has doubled in size since planting it. I also purchased seed packets and found jiffy pots. I planted some flowers, bell peppers, and 2 blueberries that prematurely fell from my bush. I am keeping them in the window sill in the kitchen. When they outgrow the pot, I can plant them in the pot. Huppiemama also gave me some jalapeno seeds, which I planted directly in the ground today. I planted corn seeds directly in the ground as well.

It rained a lot in the morning today, and then we had a lot of sunshine. So this was an ideal afternoon to do some gardening. I noticed there are a lot of rocks in my flower bed. Each week I keep pulling up new rocks after the rain and then more appear the next week.
