I'm going to try to get the little hoops I bought installed for the candy roaster squash in the tub so I can get the fabric cover all set. I'm hoping this will prevent vine borers. No sign of them yet. I'm keeping the two plants I planted directly in the yard uncovered so I can compare. All the squash plants seem to be starting little blooms already.
The Thai long bean vines are dying here and there. Might be from lack of water, although they should have had enough lately with the rain and manual watering. It may just be time for them to wane.
I pulled two hornworms off the two remaining tomato plants.
I think I'm done with the plants in the raised beds, except maybe the thai beans... I might start ripping out plants and adding back some soil this weekend, depending on funds and weather. I will probably harvest my Serrano peppers as well. I may let the purple bell pepper go a bit longer as it has 3-4 fruits still ripening. The bell peppers are smaller this late in the season.
I'd like to try starting the seeds my native hibiscus made, too. The seeds need to be filed/cut a bit to germinate. Meanwhile, the parent plant has two developing bloom buds.
