It was extremely hot this weekend, but the veggies are doing wonderfully! In fact, I underestimated how large the greens get and the community garden is exploding with kale and collard greens. I may have to move one or two of the collard green out of the garden and into containers (I have 4 plants in the community garden). The swiss chard was also doing OK, but the caterpillars really love them so they are all chewed up.

The bok choy out on the balcony is starting to bolt so I harvested them all. I have one plant in the shade, this one is still going strong.

I pulled out all the beets. From the outside it looked like only one of the plant will have any beet root, but there was a good number of beets - small but beautiful. I also like the beet leaves so I am happy with the harvest. I will try to grow more next time around.

Pretty beets and greens! I don't really have trouble with caterpillars on the chard, but sometimes on the brassicas.
ReplyDeleteHm. I'm waiting to see if I need to start using Bt. So far, I think it is not too bad.
DeleteBeautiful beets! The greens look great too. :)
