Not pictured below, I harvested the last of the broccoli just in time before it flowered. Some of it already had, and aphids were starting to take over some of the foliage. Not surprising, as warm as it's been.
Corn is coming along nicely

As long as the chips are just on top, and not in the soil, I would think you're fine on nitrogen... I see a fence right next to the bed. You sure it's not shading them for most of the day? ...

You have good soil in those pots? Any chance it's just compacted clay and water just drained out the outside? ...

I sort of do that. Pretty much no-till with chopped leaves and/or grass clippings. I use stuff that breaks down slowly like oak leaves in the pathways. I also use thin cardboard or brown paper on the bed to stop weeds, with chopped leaves or clippings on top. Idea is to build soil health. I broadfor...

I'm not sure what you're upset about. Rematches interest casual fans because of the storyline attached. It happens in all sports. Do you not want the media to drum up interest in the product or event? ...

It could be a number of things. A few holes isn't a big deal, nothing in the garden will be perfect. My advice is just leave it alone, unless a significant portion of the plant starts getting eaten. But I'm a use-chemicals-as-a-last-resort person. If you do really suspect caterpillars, spray with Bt...

Here in SETX, everything looks good. Was a beautiful day yesterday, despite the tigers and astros trying to ruin it:

Yeah that's interesting. Usually when I have mite issues it's in the fall when hive population is dropping.

Thanks for the beet recs. Will report back... Beautiful day to be in the garden. Corn and tomatoes looking good. Something ate most of the bean sprouts, but the ones that came up look good. Cucumbers germinated well (not pictured). And harvested some more carrots.

A few months ago decided to try seeding a few beets, and now they're coming in... which brings me to my next question: what the hell do I do with beets? :lol:

I baby-ed our meyer lemon for years and got maybe 3 lemons from it. Meanwhile a neighbor down the street has trees in his back yard he pretty much neglects, and he comes with bucketfulls of lemons every year. Pisses me off more than it should.
