Beans and flowers

Planted beans and nasturtium and marigold. I’ll pop probably put the remaining tomatoes and peppers out on Monday or Tuesday. Also transplanted little zucchini starts in the squash bed, and direct seeded a few delicata next to the starts that don’t look great. (Note for next year- don’t keep them in the greenhouse so long!) I put marigold in the fava bed to hopefully fight the black flies, and nasturtium in the bean beds. Also planted a few more peas (peas are FINALLY blossoming).

It’s been a dreary and cold spring. They say 10degrees cooler than normal. I think the kale and beets and carrots like it, though.

Still giving

Good haul today- tomatoes are still looking ok- we might have some cool weather coming up, so I’ll keep an eye on them. (I’m pulling the tomatoes early to ripen inside, anything orange).

The jalapeños never got very big, but they look plump and healthy. I’ll need to remember to pull them before a cold snap.

Look at this enormous marigold! It’s from whatever seeds I sprinkled last year at the base of the rocks.

Squash are getting powdery mildew. Happens every year. Delicata look established, which is good. Prolly have another week or so of summer squash.

The okra is still going!

Peas, kale, and favas are getting started.

Looks like it’s almost grape time- we’re going to make jelly this year.
