Yesterday’s blog mentioned a mysterious looking bug that was eating the squash leaves. All of the plants were treated with BT Tuesday afternoon. There was no immediate result, but this morning while watering, I did not see any of them. The watering took place at 5:50 to 6:15 AM so it is possible that they just had not gotten out of bed yet. I saw one or two when I was picking the garden yesterday; but they did not look like they were feeling too sporty.
The okra is still producing well. The ones that fell to the ground with the heavy rain are still growing and producing as well. They have to be moved to pick the pods. The ends of them are growing up but the stalks are not making any effort to stand up. Possibly I can pack some dirt around the stalks to support them. The yellow squash is totally gone. The spaghetti squash and the butternut squash are ready to pick.
The tomatoes are doing great. There are a lot of blemishes but the flavor is good. The cucumbers are still coming and the mesclun is still producing. We have a whole salad from the garden at one time.
