Garden Journal - Tuesday June 30th

Smaller Garden:

• Loads of green tomatoes. Haven't seen any aphids or tomato hornworms yet.
• A handful of cherry tomatoes everyday
• We've gotten maybe 8 big tomatoes. A couple Mortgage lifters, a few Bush Goliath, and a few of something I didn't pay attention to what they were.
• Cucumbers are just now reaching 5 feet tall on the trellis. Are getting a handful (5 or 6) of cucumbers everyday.
• Lots of hot chili peppers on the plants. Have picked a handful of the thin green ones.
• Bell peppers are starting on a few plants as well.
• Getting a handful of green beans off the teepees everyday.
• A few small yellow squash on the ys plant
• Zucchini plants are big and vining over and I get a zuke off each plant every couple days.
• Basil is flowering.
• Thyme's looking dead
• Dill looks horrible. Bottom half looks yellow and dead. I think it's on it's last leg
• Potatoes plants are all dead. Time to dig!
• Onions from garden center are falling over and looking done
• Amish bottle onions are flowering, some are falling over. Wonder if it's because I just did the heavy weeding the other day? Hope I didn't kill them
• Eggplants officially all dead
• Brussel Sprouts eaten to death and I might pull them
• Huckleberry plants are ginormous and are starting to get purple berries
• Sweet potato plants starting to perk up and vine a little bit
• Corn has it's first small corn on it! And the flower thingamajigs on top.
• First butternut squash plant vining and about 3 feet long
• Planted new yellow squash and zucchini a couple weeks ago. Chickens destroyed about half of the starts. Ugh. Need to get new seeds as I left them in the yard in the rain. That's why I planted them when I did lol.

Clay's bigger garden

• Corn is getting pretty big.
  
• Pole beans growing up the corn on two 100 ft rows
• Pumpkins are vining and getting yellow flowers
• Pumpkins wilting in heat of the day
• Bush beans were getting a few handfuls a day but they're getting eaten by rabbits
• Clay put up a fake owl yesterday to try and scare the rabbits
• Clay found a few surviving watermelon plants. They're about a foot long LOL but have flowers.
  
• His butternut squash are going slowly but going
• Sweet potatoes not so great but limping along
• Two pumpkin plants have died. I see no sign of cutworms or squash bugs. I think he's not watering enough
