Greetings from a very happy garden. It's nearly impossible to walk around the garden withoutsmiling. Having the beds so well weeded and mulched makes for an impressive sight.
The peas are starting to flower and pods are not far off. The removal of the row cover from the well established cabbage and brussells brought out the flea beetles. These little buggers are a real pain but the plants should be large enough to withstand the attacks. The potato beetles are on the eggplant and getting closer to the early potatoes. Tri daily walks among the plants picking bugs helps keep things in check. Searching for eggs under the leaves is also critical. The potatoes are growing well in the newly plowed area and will need to get their first hilling this week. All of the above mentioned observations tell me one thing, the garden is starting to gain momentum and is entering yet another phase.
We really enjoyed all the yummy food that was brought for the potluck lunch that followed our garden time! We are lucky to be surrounded by great cooks!!! If there are any questions about the pressure cooking demo, don't hesitate to ask.
