Everything is Up

As of April 28, everything in the garden has come up. 1 hill of spaghetti squash seems to have been munched by something, and about 1 foot of lima beans have also provided a little creature’s lunch. All of that will need to be replanted. All the little plants are so cute, I just want to pet them. Instead they are getting soaker hose installed. They probably prefer that anyway.

Most of the summer squash has true leaves and so far except for a few tomato plants that were gobbled by roly pollies, the bugs have not been too bad. There are a few isolated holes in the cabbages and kale, but they are not bad enough to get out the sprayer. When the little white moths start flitting around the BT will have to come out.

There is a tiny little artichoke on one of the artichoke plants and there is head forming on one of the broccolis. The potato bag is growing like crazy. Dirt has to be added almost every day and the bag is 2/3 full now. The true test will be if there are any potatoes in there.
