The lettuce and zucchini I started a few days ago are coming up and the Brussel Sprouts I brought with me are still in their pots and not even touched by cabbage loopers yet.
When I get home, they need to go on the ground and I will be treating them with Spinosad and see if I can get a crop that way.
I expect to see a lot of Japanese beetles when I get back.
For the 4th, appropriately(?), I got my new, hot pepper plants separated & repotted individually into 4” pots & watered in with a bit of root hormone. The roots were REALLY grown together: Despite trying to be ultra-careful, I lost quite a bit of roots on some plants, esp. on the Serranos. Hopefully they will recover ok. If yes, then they move to 8” pots in maybe 10 days.
Plus we went to watch the July 4 fireworks. There was a major paucity of food vendors - boo/hiss! I wonder why so few?
