Maybe the hot weather early in the garden cycle doesn’t hurt. It certainly isn’t inhibiting the vegetative growth in the garden. The tomatoes are growing like crazy and only a few of them have fallen over in spite of the fact that they have not been tied up. One plant even has a couple of little tomatoes and one of the yellow crookneck squash has a blossom.
The sugar peas miraculously started producing again and there was a spurt in broccoli growth. The cabbage which normally has poor success in our garden is doing well. One has been picked and there are two more ready to pick. Ana is making a marinated coleslaw with the one that was picked.
The garden has been sprayed twice with BT and the bug damage has been extremely minimal so far. Some of the broccoli leaves are getting pretty ragged. They may have been missed with the last BT spraying. Last night brought a half inch of rain, so the spraying will need to be renewed again tonight with special emphasis on the broccoli.
