Good morning! It looks like I’m finally going to get a bell pepper this weekend. Spraying them with soap solution seems to be helping. No tomato worms this morning (there were two yesterday), and the cat brought me a dead rabbit.
Lots of green tomatoes, but no red ones for the last several days. I’m picking a few green beans, a victory over the catz, who dug up my seeds as if it was a contest. AND my wisteria is having a bloom.
One of the BEST ‘tag lines’ on Free Republic...
Every single one of my plants have “recovered” from the hail storm we had near the end of June. Tonight I noticed that the one green tomato “stalk, and nothing else” has put out a small branch with tiny leaves. How cool is that?
The garlic, lettuce, chives and orange cosmos are growing in last years new beds. I added compost and fresh soil last fall.
Everything else is growing in the new beds filled with the square-foot gardening mix. It seems to dry out very quickly, but I'm worried I might be watering the soil too much VS not watering enough. How do I tell?
It might have something to do with the 97 degree sun filled days we've been having for the last week. When the winds and rains haven't been blowing trees apart. ;-)
