Don’t wait so long next time. This is the lesson learned from pak choy. The beautiful pak choy plants that were harvested this weekend were still good; but they were post-mature. The greens were saved by cooking them with garlic and ginger. The stalks were still good raw. Everything would have been better were the plants harvested 2 weeks ago.
The pepper spray seems to be effective against the 4 legged pests. It does little to stop the multi-legged villains. There is some type of little critter that attaches itself to a turnip leaf and just sucks. The leaf wilts and shrivels. The garden needs a good dose of BT. Rain was threatened all weekend so the application was post phoned. The rain finally came today so as soon as it quits, BT will go on the plants.
Arugula is going to seed. We have been eating it in salad, but now the flowering plants have gone to the compost bin. The rest will be cut short with the scissors and added to the mixed greens.
