The Good and the Bad

The good

This is one of two artichoke plants. The other is not quite as far along. I wasn't expecting to get any artichokes this year because I read that they must go through a winter before they will produce. I guess the cold snap earlier in the year fooled them into thinking that they had wintered over.


I think that this is a parasitic wasp sitting atop of a radish leaf. Parasitic wasps are good guys so I hope he hangs around.

The early girl tomatoes are starting to produce. I trimmed the tomatoes over this past weekend; It seems to have done some good.

This tray of baby carrots is coming along.

Planter #3 with the Mel's Mix removed. The strawberries seem to have acclimated to the boxes without a lot of stress. I hope this works out.

Crook neck squash growing.

The zucchini is coming along dispite the earwig damage.

The Bad

The snap peas are checking out. I didn't think that this would happen so early considering that the temps haven't been very high.

Frigg'n earwigs!
