Time Flies!

Today, I went to the garden for the first time in almost a week! I wasn't too busy for the garden, but we made a short trip out of state last week, so no time to blog or even check on the garden.

While we were gone, we received a good amount of rain (1.3 in) and some hot weather! It's 80 today and HUMID. The garden is growing well, with a few exceptions.

Watermelon - we left the hotcaps on from a couple weeks ago to encourage growth. We have successful growth for 10 of them, but we lost a few plants along the way.

Cantaloupe - these were planted after the freeze threat, but have really struggled getting their roots established. I have three plants that are ok, but I will be planting more soon.

Cayenne pepper - I think an animal may have bit the top of this plant. It looks terrible! I will likely need to plant another.


As previously mentioned, everything else is looks pretty good. We staked part of the tomatoes today and spread some sevin to take care of pest pressure.

The surprise of the day was the radishes. They are ready! Here is the bucket full of the day:



They tasted delicious!
