So, like I said, we went to Hoyt Arboretum on Memorial Day. It was a pretty consistent mist during the hike, and then a 5 minute deluge towards the end. We had a lot of fun though! Here's a few pics that I took.
We had rain most of that week and the sun has just now been coming out the last couple days with today reaching a high of 85F. My garden is doing pretty good. My basil is completely gone from what ever has been munching on it. Also I found out that the cucumber had bacterial wilt which is transmitted by a cucumber beetle. It must have gotten the wilt before I'd purchased it though cause I haven't seen any beetles like that and it was already pretty wilted even before I'd planted it. So I'm going to see about getting a replacement and hope that it does better.
The California Wonder bell peppers are looking better since I misted them with the garlic/chili powder infusion. The Devil's Tongue Romain in the planter is doing really nice and I've got a really healthy looking potato plant coming up too!
In other news: My son is coming to visit for 6 weeks of his summer vacation this Saturday. I'm very excited about that. He likes gardening too so I hope to get some great family photos of us working out there together! Great timing too, since I'm starting to get more weeds since the rain - everything started growing more ha ha! That's about all to report. Thanks for reading!
