I FINALLY got in the rest of the cool weather seedlings, lettuce and Brussel Sprouts.
Tomatoes are coming in slowly but that’s OK. I do small batches of canning every few days. Still some new hornworm damage and I cannot catch any of the buggers. I need to get my black light flashlight out and go out after dark and see if I can find them..
Zucchini is coming in slowly as well. Mr. mm bough a new hose nozzle on one of those 3’ or so long extensions and had a great time playing with it in the garden last night while I did some planting. Still very dry but the areas he SOAKED are doing OK.
Found some cabbage loopers on my Brussel Sprouts. Those danged things are SO hard to find. So I picked off the ones I did find and sent them for a swim in in some soapy water, applied more Spinosad powder, which will last until the next rain.
Potatoes are finally looking like they’re close to being done.
I scored on potatoes again this year. Our neighbor left a big box of freshly-dug Red Norland potatoes on the porch the other evening!
This is the same neighbor that raises hogs (we’re getting a whole one this year) and Beau helps him with the Cattle Round-ups and fencing.
I’m not entirely excited about growing fall crops this season, but I will do lettuces and spinach in the greenhouse, as usual. Mom & her BFF are coming out to raid what they can from the garden, today. After all the canning I did, they are more than WELCOME to it!
We are having BLTs for lunch, though. :)
