Long overdue garden update
Today’s game day at Case da Lee, so have some pictures.
June has been real hot and the side affects have been lots of bug activity and plants shutting down, not dying, but not growing as strongly as they normally would this time of year.
Plot #2- Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers
Ironically the only plants really doing well are the ones I seeded myself. The store bought ones have pretty much frozen in development. I treated them for bugs (which is the first time in 3 years I’ve had to do so) and I’ll fertilize them again this weekend. They’re all healthy, just not doing much.
These are the cucumbers. You can see the insect damage, but we have baby cucumbers coming along anyway.
The grapes are doing fantastic. I’m daring to get excited.
Plot #1- Peas, Carrots, zucchini
The zucchini have suffered the worst from the infestation. This was taken then I picked a fruit off it, and the next day the bigger plant completely wilted. It’s so sad looking, but I treated these too, as well, and the big plant is still alive, growing new leaves and I hope that it makes it. The smaller back plant is just fine and starting to put off fruit too.
And in conclusion, a few flowers.
(Taken on my camera phone, but still pretty.)
