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.
I put tomato cages over mine and have taking netting I bought at Hobby lobby, and made covers that I slip over the plants to keep the cabbage loopers and other leaf eating caterpillars off.
Normally I would be seeing those yellow or blue little butterflies flitting around the garden and they lay eggs on the cruciferous veggies about now. I saw a few earlier in the year but we had a late very hard freeze after stuff started growing and I wonder if the freeze killed off all the adults.
No problem for me.
