FOOOOOOOOOOOD

My garden is starting to produce food!  But I can't eat it yet because of the pesticides...  I pulled off 2 large zucchinis and an eggplant.  I know there will be plenty more to come it is just sad.  speaking of food we discussed the parts of the plants we eat today in lecture.  We eat almost every part of the plant from the leaves, to the roots to the flower.  Of the plants in my garden I will eat the fruits of the tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, peas, zucchinis, squash, and cucumber.  I'll eat the leaves of the lettuce and scallions.  I'll eat the roots of the beets and carrots.  I'll eat the stems of the Kohlrabi, and I'll eat the flowers or the cauliflower, and lastly I'll eat the seeds of the peas.  I'm excited to start taking home and cooking and eating all of the different vegetables!

In the garden I did the normal weeding, fertilizing, spraying neem and BT.  In addition to the routine I also put up trellises for the tomatoes and peas.  I'm excited to see that many of the plants I was worried about are starting to look more healthy and produce flowers.  One of my lettuces did die :( and I pulled two more virus infected squash but planted two new ones and hopefully that will stay virus free!
