Hey there,
How are your gardens doing? What’s gone well this year, and where are you having problems?
Things are looking good for me so far. Like every year, I had some trouble with black bean aphids on my fava beans, but that seems to have resolved itself (even though the affected plants aren’t yielding much).
I’m happy with my onions and potatoes… does anyone know why some of my onion sets are deciding to go to seed?
Wishing you all a great week!
Terrible. The heatwaves that are passing by are murder. Thank you, climate collapse, thank you, CO2 producers.
Oh, I see—I have the same problem in another garden, too. I actually only water my vegetable beds when necessary (so far, luckily, we’ve still had enough collected rainwater).
For the past few years, I’ve been using grass clippings as mulch on the beds, which helps reduce evaporation... I’ve become a big fan of it.
