I started some Brussel Sprout seeds and they are up already.

Yea!

Other than that, I am going through garden withdrawal.

We’re out of town on vacation and a friend is taking care of watering for me, but still………

I can just imagine the number of Colorado potato beetles I’ll fine when I get back. I’ve kept up with them wonderfully, and that’s checking the plants a couple times a week. Now it’s going to be two weeks before I get the chance again.
