My garlic scapes are making their appearance.
EVERYTHING is doing fantastic. We’ve finally gotten rain and cooler temperatures and every day I go out in the garden, I can see stuff has grown.
Some of my beans are finally up. I started some zucchini too and that’s finally making it’s appearance. I have a second planting of Brussel sprouts and snow peas in for a later summer/fall harvest.
Course, I noticed when I was picking some lettuce the other day, the slugs are making their appearance. Little baby ones but there. So I spread slug bait around for them to snack on instead.
I also think I’ve won the war with the asparagus beetles. I’d go out every day with a jar of soapy water and knock the little buggers in. Like Japanese beetles, they have the courtesy of dropping off the plant when disturbed to it’s easy to catch them.
All of my beans are up - Good Mother Stollard, Scarlet Runner (for the Hummers) and Saychelles Pole bean - and it hasn’t been easy for them in this heat, let along Mr. Chippy digging up everything in sight!
No Asparagus Beetles so far; it’s all gone to frond now, so it’s time!
My Brussels Sprouts are starting to sprout! So far, so good. I’ve got stakes next to each plant for future support.
