Green Thumb Up My Nose

Garden Report for 200615

June Gloomish. Highs in the 70’s, lows around 50. Rain, clouds, dull. Quick touch of the 80’s on Friday, and then temps plunged into the 50’s. Next week, more of the same.

Not much going on on the production front yet. The lettuce I planted in containers indoors is doing well (I’m trimming a leaf or two every other day), and the outdoor container of radishes has given us three or so, but it will be another two months before anything comes up in the main garden. I’m quietly laughing at all those who ran out and bought up all the vegetable seeds when the lockdown started. They may well be back at work before anything ripens. But hey, at least they’ll have fresh asparagus, right?

Laid down a second anti-squirrel grill in Section 3. Planted chard, bunching onions, and bok choy, all on tape. One row of scattered Iceberg lettuce seeds — they won’t head, but they do make nice leaf lettuce. Squirrels dug up the space between the grills overnight, but didn’t get to the plants.

The aluminum container is coming up radishes. Unlike last time.

Mulched the new trees some more, and added more rock. Continued my war on the burdock.

Real radish

Real effective
