This week brought the end of lettuce for our spring garden. We harvested the last of the first planting of peas, and took out the plants. We planted cucumbers and our first planting of green beans. Next come the second planting of sweet corn and okra, as the last peas go out, probably the end of this week.
Little of our abundance goes to waste. Most of the lettuce and lots of peas went to the local food pantry, along with a large bag of Swiss chard picked this morning. The carrots are coming in, and more beets too.
We're seeing our first challenges from pests. We lost two tomato plants to a disease that is spread by thrips.
And, we've destroyed Japanese Beetles that attacked the basil, eggplant and tomatoes.
It's all good.
