Day 44: I Wouldn't Quite Call it...

I wouldn't quite call it a Thanksgiving, but...

While checking the Mayne Garden last night, we noticed one Zucchini and one Yellow Summer Squash ready to be picked (and eaten). This weekend we planned on harvesting all of the Turnips, so we'll pick the squash at the same time. Once the Turnips are out of the ground (which are growing out of control), we will fill that area with a second planting of carrots and beans.

I wouldn't quite call it Godzilla, but...

     Some"thing" is eating our Brussell Sprout leaves...we think it is a leaf cutting worm of some kind. Why do we think so...because we saw it (green ugly fellow). We decided not to touch "the thing" with hands, but rather to blast "it" and any of "its" friends with bug spray next weekend.

      We feed The Mayne Garden last Sunday with a liquid fertilizer and cultivated the soil. We can see the difference. 

I wouldn't quite call it a victory garden yet, but...

Over-all, at this point we have some nice successes (Turnips, Zuchini, Summer Squash, Eggplant) and some not so nice successes (Beans, Peas, Carrots, Fennel, Brussell Sprouts).
