Ladybugs!


We are always trying new approaches for controlling those less than desirable pests. This year I am going to try ladybugs. Last week I released several thousand ladybugs. I found a few aphids here and there and I didn't want them to damage our greens. I hope they decide I have a nice garden and start multiplying, but only time will tell.

Tomato and Garden update



It appears that spring, may have sprung. However, I am keeping a watchful eye on the weather.

We finished planting the big tomatoes on Saturday. We had a little problem with some wind and row cover. It was blown over and broke off a few plants. Not worries, we will just replant.

We have many crops seeded or transplanted. Many more to come. On Tuesday, I started 300 zucchini and cucumber plants to put out in the movable buildings. We will get them out in about 10-14 days.

It is a busy time and we will start harvesting very soon too!
