5 Garden Notes
Sep. 18th, 2016 07:03 pm1. Bought cabbage starts. What kind? Isn't going to matter. Squirrels are eating them.
2. Cabbage butterfly (which I like) laid eggs on cabbage starts. Squirrels ate the leaves.
3. I'm leaving for DC for a week, so I pulled the carrots (OMG, so good--made a mire poix, ate some raw, going to pickle a small jar for my cousin) and put the cabbage in....
4. No pumpkins, and less corn--the pumpkin vines had all the roots eaten, then squirrels ate the baby gourds, and some of the corn had roots eaten too.
5. Chickens still happy. Newsflash: Put newspaper in the cage, pulling poop out will be easy. DUH.
