Community Garden Update

The garden is growing and flourishing, minus a rash of flee beetles attacking my nightshade plants.

I found out from my mother that I planted in-determanent tomatoes, so I staked them knowing now that these vines will get quite BIG.  I also didn't realize that I planted Romanesco Broccoli, which are very interesting looking, so I'm hoping that it produces! The snap peas that I'm growing from seeds I got from my neighbor are almost 8" high now, potato foliage is getting high, but the basil is still quite small. I have strawberry plants that came with my bed and they are getting big and sweet as long as the slugs don't get to them first!

Lastly finches made a nest in a lavender plant next to my bed - the eggs were blue and in a few days hatch with tiny birds - so cute.
