Spring Garden Update

It's been three short weeks since we planted our spring garden, and our plants have really taken off.


We have strawberries.  And blackberries.


We have tomatoes.  And will have peppers soon enough.


Our lettuce is thriving and our tomato plants have quadrupled in size.


These plants are doing great as well.  Anyone need mint?  We have plenty.

We do have issues with pests on one of the eggplants, the strawberries, and the tomatoes.  They are invisible and eat small little holes.  Not sure what they are, or how to get rid of them.  I rather not use pestisides, so I don't know what I'm going to do.  Hope the heat kills them?

I think you need to go Chemical Charlie on those bugs.

Thanks Bill. I've heard that before - I think I might look into some this weekend.
