Garden update
The bunnies have finished the corn. I had to take the cage off it so it could grow taller than 2 feet, and boom, that was it. So something else will go in there.
I do have one stalk of corn that is hidden the pot with carrots, so that will likely make it to fruition. Speaking of the carrots, though, they are suddenly all putting up flowers, which makes for awful carrots, even if they weren't still tiny things. I have no idea what's happening there. My beets (in the same pot) are mature, and about an inch across. Which, okay, cute baby-size beets to roast. I need to put a second crop of beets into another pot.
Lettuce still going strong. Asian greens all gone to seed, oh well. Will do another round of them in autumn. They are sweet.
Myoga has 12 shoots! No flower buds yet (that's the edible bit).
Peas are done for the season. Need to cut them down and put something else in that pot, probably tomatoes or peppers, maybe my spare cuke seedling.
Now in Earthboxes: 5 types of tomatoes, two types of pony watermelons, one basic cucumber. Some of the tomato seedlings and one of the watermelon seedlings got sunburned because I forgot they need to be toughened up a bit before they can spend 16 hours in full blazing sunlight. Those now have a shade over them so they get a bit of sun in the morning and a lot of afternoon sun, but not high noon sun. They seem to be recovering and putting on new growth.
The big strawberry patch is taking a break. There will be more strawberries later, to judge by the flowers and buds, but right now it's busy putting out runners, and I should probably put pots of dirt under them to capture some more plants. The other strawberry plant is now starting to fruit, shows no sign of putting up runners.
The potatoes have been flowering, which is when they start to put on tubers. I lost one plant to some sort of bug, or maybe overwatering They need water when putting on tubers, but I might be too aggressive? And also not all of them flowered simultaneously. And of course I have planted them much too close together. Have now raised the sides of the boxes with more cardboard and stacked the mulch high. I am probably doing it all wrong, and will lose them all despite potatoes being "really easy" according to a friend. We'll see.
