The ragged leaf on the larger tobacco plant next to the tall T squash is the leaf Prissy bit off. The others that look a bit ragged happened immediately after I transplanted them, like the next day some of those leaves just started melting away. They actually look good compared to the way they did look. I think there are six of them now that will be okay.

On the top of the Walking Onions, you will see a bit of white stuff, that is the onion beginning to make and you can see the bit in front of that hanging down that will go to the soil to make another onion plant.

The tops of the onions in the net room became bent when I covered them with row cover due to those two cold nights. There are lots of onions there. Can't see the carrots in the bags behind the onions as those carrots are truly babies right now. That was my fault for thinking I could grow them from seed in the house and transplant. They don't transplant worth diddly so I started over in those grow bags with seeds.

I've been saving cardboard toilet paper tubes to try with carrots. My seed tape carrots aren't getting any bigger. The tops are still dinky..

I was hauling brush today, and forgot to open the greenhouse door when the sun broke out through the clouds. Oops, it was about 104 in there. The impatiens didn't look happy at all.

I have oneof those dual fans with a thermostat I need to stick in front of the end where the vent window opens out, so that it starts blowing air around in there when I forget.

I bought some of those yellow sticky tape traps. I sure catch a lot of gnats, flies, and moths on them. I saw the first two shield bugs yesterday..so now I've seen snails, sow bugs, flea beetles, ants, thrips, leaf hoppers, and two shield bugs. Go away bugs.
