Little Rain

It rained lightly for most of the day yesterday, which was nice. Today though, it's just gloomy w/ no rain. The slightly cooler temps are nice, but the plants could use some sunlight.

The onions, radishes, and nasturtiums are doing very well. I finally thinned the radishes today. I probably should have snipped them, but I just pulled out the culls.

Onions growing fast!

The collards are still under the fabric. One plant is doing very well.

After thinning.

I found 4 dark brown cutworms feasting on the youngest carrot sprouts.  I had to replant part of them, but they all seem to be doing well again.  The onions are growing fast here, too, and hopefully they are helping to repel bad bugs. 5 days cutworm free!  I still have another round of carrots to plant, maybe in another week or so.

The volunteer tomatoes I planted in the yard are looking pretty happy.  How long will that last?

"Why are you getting more attention that me?"

All the broccoli and cabbage seedlings I grew failed. I've replanted seeds in the raised beds, and they have come up.  I'm planning to buy a few more-mature seedlings for the containers.

Also to come, planting spinach, tatsoi, chard, and lettuces.  I still have to clean out the pallet bed. Sorry, begonias!
