It has been a little while since my last garden update... so here it is. The lettuce has done great - it is all eaten and Lettuce Watch - part deux is beginning. A new crop was planted today!!
The tomatoes seem to be recovering - I trimmed all the really diseased looking branches. Hunted down and destroyed all worms, bugs and moths that were free-loading on my lovely plants. Took some advice (thanks Dad) and sprayed the leaves with a mix of water and dish soap - apparently it makes the plants slippery and bugs can't hang on. It seems to be working! Check out the photo of the current tomato plants.
Finally, the mint, chives and basil are all doing fine - the basil took a hit along with the tomatoes, but it seems to be turning the corner and making a comeback! The marigolds I put in near the tomatoes are also flourishing so I have thrown in a picture of them too. Enjoy! And thanks for those who sent gardening advice.
Oh! I almost forgot, in addition to a new crop of lettuce I also planted late summer carrots today too - so it is now Lettuce and Carrot Watch!!
