Hello! How was your week and what progress did you see in your garden? What are you happy or unhappy with? Time to share your experiences!
Personally I’ve been fighting a nasty invasion in my brassicas that destroyed the daikons. At least the broccoli looks okay.
On the good news front, I’ve been blessed with delicious lettuces that keep coming back, my beans are thriving, I get a new courgette every other day and I’ve seen my first cucumber flowers. Here’s hoping they give me many fruits!
Our month of June was very hot and dry, but fortunately a good rain helped us this week. Water management is a challenge though, and I’m a bit torn between my desire for a good harvest and my efforts to keep watering to a minimum to avoid waste.
I hear you about the squash…they’re very prolific!
My sunflowers are also taking their sweet time for some reason, even though all my neighbours’ are already flowering, as well as the ones in the fields nearby. But I have hope!
