Day 24: Assessment

We inspected The Mayne Garden last evening. Some plants look good and others not so good. Here is our quick assessment:

We are pleased with the growth of the peas (planted  from seed), the zucchini and in particular the turnips.

But  right now we are concerned with about half of the eggplants, the bush beans and the half of the tomato plants. It seems the Jet Star variety tomatoes are not doing as well as the Better Boys. We are not sure if this discrepancy is the result of differences in the varieties or because the Jet Star were planted closer to the Webhannet River than the Better Boy.

    There is still little to nothing happening with the gourd seeds (we have no idea why). And the peas that were planted from seedlings look worse each day. The cucumber plants, which were also planted from seedlings, are a little yellowish, but we think they'll make it.

 








 BTW, the lettuce plants are finally coming into their own.
