Hot today. Sprayed copper on tomatoes. Have been pruning most days.
Count on chipmunks is hazy, maybe 13 so far?
Harvested one marrow, plant might be gone. Got one summer squash previously. Got 3 glads from bulbs which were missed.

June 15
Now have trapped 8 chipmunks, and still see some in the paths.
Hauled dirt down from the bins around leeks (3), okra (2), brocooli and peppers.
Early wilt showing--pruned 2-3 times this week.
I think about all the glads I planted are now up. One glad that overwintered has buds.
The red astilbe look very good. The caladium bulbs are starting to show--one plant may have had its leaves nibbled.

Early Wilt--June 9
Sprayed the tomatoes this morning but several of the plants are showing signs (pruned maybe a week ago). According to the direcitons I should have sprayed back shortly after transplanting.
Now have killed 3 chipmunks. Anne-Marie had some beets eaten last night.

Round the House, May 24
5 caladiums Lisa liked were in the second tier in front, no sign of them and I thought I planted them wrong. Found 3, 2 of which definitely sprouting, so there's still hope.
Put out about $50 worth of impatiens along the sidewalk, on the third tier, and under dining room window, 3 caladiums, 2 coleus to fill holes in front, crossing my fingers on the caladiums.
Was able to dodge bulbs and bluebell roots mostly.

Things are mostly good.
Bed 1 Peas were disappointing, particularly the English ones. Tomatoes are topping the cages, and showing signs of the early wilt. Need to apply copper.
Bed 2 The lettuce has gone to town. Peas in the center of the bed did well, the rest not (fertilitiy problem?) The new iris is going dormant, I think, hopefully will revive in late summer. Onions were good.
Bed 3 Trapped one chipmunk, then had senior moment and broke trap. The leeks and chard are starting to thrive, beets under screen and net looking pretty good, eggplant under row cover, butternut squash showing buds.
Bed 4 Glads are finally showing, at least the first batch planted are. The new glads are up to 18" or so. The broccoli disappointed Lisa, but we got some harvest. The lettuce is doing better. A couple cabbages are developing.
N QPlot. All the dahlias are showing, finally.
S QPlot 2 of the new dahlias doing well, the third okay. Peppers looking good. A summer squash has small one.s
