Garden Update
// October 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // carrots, cucumber, garden, squash, tomato
It has been roughly 45 days since I first transplanted seedlings and planted seeds in the garden. Most plants are doing well. The weather has been good except for a few windy days and some heavy rain.
The cucumbers I planted in the container were doing very good until I noticed caterpillars. These are the small light green variety that I dealt with last year. I wanted to use a biological approach but could not find the product I wanted. So I opted to spray with Sevin. It has been a week and it looks like they are under control, for now. Today I saw my first female flower which is a little early for the 55 day harvest time. It is a good sign that the plants are healthy. The plants that are in the raised bed are much smaller than their counterpart but are starting to flower.
The squash plants in the container are doing very well. They suffered from a caterpillar attack also. It has also has it’s first female flower. Again the plants in the container are much bigger than those in raised bed.
The tomato plants I transplanted are doing very well also.
