Currently:
- All broccoli and cabbage are done and gone. Had bad infestation of caterpillars that did my cabbage in. Planning on row covering them next year to see how that goes.
- Loads of green tomatoes
- Pole beans huge and overflowing. No open flowers yet but close
- Potato plants starting to die back
- Cilantro totally flowered and fallin over. Needs to be pulled
- Amish bottle onions flowering
- Most eggplants dying from flea beetle infestation. Gotta find out what to do about those. I've read loads and can't find a good answer.
- Lettuce tall and bolted.
- Lost 2 out of three of the first yellow squash plants lost to what look like vine borers.
- Inch long zucchini on the plants.
- Planted loads of sweet potato slips yesterday
- Have lots of hot peppers growing on the hot pepper plants
- Caught a gazillion squash bugs by spraying water on the plants and catching them as they crawled up to dry off. Kids loved that!
- Cucumbers just starting to flower
- Brussel sprouts have little buds, lots of caterpillar damage but I couldn't find a single bug one them yesterday. Maybe getting too hot. Hopefully.
- Clay's winter squash seeds he planted are starting to peek their first true leaves. Just peeking. He planted those about a week and a half ago
- Lots of green huckleberries. The huckleberries have really made it through and grown big despite the flea beetles.
- Amish bottle onions flowering, open flowers. Took all flowers off all the other onions.
- He put some fertilizer (gasp) on the corn. His corn is finally starting to get bigger with all this rain. Some are still 2 inches tall but some are 2 feet tall or taller.
- Pumpkins starting grow. A couple are about 5 feet long with vines.
- Two official nice yellow pumpkin flowers
- Bush green beans just starting to flower
- Planted 50 foot row of 2-3 wide of sweet potato slips yesterday
