I just did a foliar feed on all of my stuff with the molasses/liquid fish/seaweed stuff I make with rainwater. We're expecting some rain in a few hours, so I was more concerned about feeding and protection from mites than in watering.

I lost some peanut starts to ants. Little barstids were eating the peanuts. They got the DE treatment, and that should fix their wagon.

Sunflowers are in. Tomatoes are just starting to flower. Tobacco is doing great/horrible depending on where in the garden it is. Squash are doing well. Herbs are slowly coming along. I mean SLOWLY.

Still eating asparagus and lettuce and spinach out of the garden.

All in all, much better than last Friday when I was a little under the weather.

Really glad you are feeling better. Now you mentioned a foliar spray concoction. Any chance you would share that recipe today? Please?

Sounds like you're about the same stage I am. I think everything in the garden is fully grown now with lots of flowering going on. We've harvested a few squash and lots of lettuce and greens. The tomatillos are abundant but still too early to pick. Starting to get tomatoes here and there too. We've been picking strawberries for about a week.

It's also starting to get a little hot. The plants are looking a little stressed, so we're starting to put up shade cloths on the ones that are getting full sun all day.

Hey /j I bought some molasses after your tip last week and added to seaweed tea. Can I make homemade fish emulsion? I eat sardines and added one to a covered plastic container with water to rot in the sun for awhile. Is it ok to do this then add the stinky brine to the above solution?

Have you ever grown asparagus from seed? I just read that it can take up to 10 weeks for these things to germinate!
