Gardeners! How was your week?
Hello! How was your week and what progress did you see in your garden? What are you happy or unhappy with? Time to share your experiences!
Personally I've been fighting a nasty invasion in my brassicas that destroyed the daikons. At least the broccoli looks okay.
On the good news front, I've been blessed with delicious lettuces that keep coming back, my beans are thriving, I get a new courgette every other day and I've seen my first cucumber flowers. Here's hoping they give me many fruits!
Our month of June was very hot and dry, but fortunately a good rain helped us this week. Water management is a challenge though, and I'm a bit torn between my desire for a good harvest and my efforts to keep watering to a minimum to avoid waste.

It’s the first year of gardening in our new house and first time gardening in the #pnw so I’m prepared to make a lot of mistakes. I also started sowing quite late in the season so I’m just beginning to see real plant growth. My lettuce sprouts looked a bit stressed, so I carefully dug them up and swapped places with my corn sprouts, which was in a shadier spot. I hope that I didn’t do too much damage to the roots. Some water and vegetable fertilizer in the new holes might give them a boost, I think?
