The Good, the Bad, and the Dead

The state of the garden, in three bullets:

• The Good....The broccoli has little brocs.

The peony is gorgeous.

The porch plants look great.

• The Bad....I think the slugs got to the basil. I've never seen basil look this bad.

• The Dead...

This was my caladium-and-red-petunia pot on the porch. I cannot keep a caladium alive for beans - anybody have an idea why?
