Sept 17

Expecting rain tonight and tomorrow.

Still harvesting okra, to my surprise.  A few tomatoes, a lot of early blight pruned.  Dahlias in bloom, though the red spider should have been on the outside, I think.  Peppers doing well, and one squash off the second planting of squash.

Lisa's lettuce, kale, endive, redicchio seedlings are transplanted and doing.   I sowed the mustard and crimson clover around the glads and the okra, mustard seeds are showing.

No success on trapping the last 3 weeks or so, though a couple of tomatoes on the ground have been gnawed.

September 5

Still dry with storms going around.  Second flush of tomatoes coming in.  Early blight is still there, need to prune.  The okra are starting to peter out, some plants gone.  Harvested some butternut squash since the vines were dead or dying and they were ripe.  The beets have not done well recently.  Hot cayenne peppers doing well, glads are about gone, dahlias starting their prime.  Beans all gone with bean beetle.

Lisa's starts should go out.
