I did a lot today in my garden. On top of the usual weeding, bed shaping, spraying insecticide, I also planted a lot of new stuff in places where things have failed to grow. I planted more cauliflower, Kohlrabi, beets, and lettuce since I dug up and plowed several large areas of my beds that hadn't grown. Also in my extra bed I planted more carrots and peas since my carrots don't seem to be doing too well and the peas are doing really well so I want more!
I'm sick of the bugs and other pests. The virus that the white flies cause has claimed three of my squash plants and many other plants are heavily chewed, and have other deformities caused by the pests in our garden. I can only imagine how many crops large farms would lose with out the use of insecticides and herbicides. I know they get a lot of heat for using such products especially in our fab phase of organic, and all natural, pesticide freem non-GMO the list goes on... But these things are necessary especially in large scale settings.
The first vegetables are also starting to become visible and its exciting. My garden will not be a total failure!!! There was a small eggplant, zucchini, and pepper that I noticed today that were not there last week. That's what the pictures this week are showing.
