Well the heat is back at 87 degrees today, but the good news is there is a lot of breeze of the lake. First chance I have had since the week was busy with work related activities all week.
Today is the day for cultivating the corn blocks and pepper plants. Got out the "Bud Frank" special and am now retilling the north side. Should have the entire north section done by this afternoon.
The plants in some places are doing well, but other crops are not as plentiful so far. The Banana Peppers usually produce 5-6 peppers per plant ongoing, but this year they are showing one per plant? Squash is producing small less then hardy flowers also. I am thinking that perhaps with the absence of bees this year and lack of usual pollination may be adding to it. Still early so we'll see in a few weeks. However the tomatoes, coriander, basil, egggplant, and corn is doing great. Also the Lambs Ear is up about 1/2 inche from seed and will be great when grown. Mexican Petunias are also coming along nicely in their starters and should be ready for the patio garden in 2-3 weeks. The only thing that keeps getting trashed are the Tiger Lilies in the patio garden because a certain DOG likes to hang out in them. You can see the culprit in the photo , BEANS aka Jasper. So back to work for now.....cya!
