Well, I must say, this year’s garden is a bit of a disappointment so far. Between the cool, damp weather, inconsistent warm days, slugs and the rabbits, it’s had a rough go of it. It’s still struggling along though, slow and steady. Some things are doing great…
 |
|
| Cucumbers |
 |
| Pole Beans |
|
|
 |
| Carving pumpkins |
|
 |
| There’s a little pumpkin! |
|
 |
| Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins |
|
 |
| Spring Mix Salad Greens |
|
 |
| Romaine Lettuce |
|
 |
| Potato Towers (man, I hope this things work)! |
|
And some things are not doing so well….
 |
| Basil (this is the second planting) |
|
|
|
 |
| Kale (I think a rabbit got to it). I put slug bait out, too. |
|
 |
| Beets |
|
 |
| Zinnias |
|
 |
| Tomatoes (are showing signs of blight) NOoooo! |
|
I’ve read there’s no way to stop blight once it starts, but you may be able to slow it down a little. I picked all the lower leaves off the tomato plants and watered them with a watering can to keep the water off the leaves – then it sprinkled this morning – go figure!
I’ve also got carrots, cilantro, jalapenos, green pepper, Sweet William flowers and spinach..
