My SFG on 21 June 2010

Tomatoes

Basil

I made some fresh Pesto with Basil from the Garden the other day.

It was Yummy!

Cilantro

Peppers

Something was eating the leaves of the Peppers.

I mixed some water and crushed red pepper flakes

and sprayed the leaves.

That seems to have helped.

Green Beans

Whatever was eating the Peppers was eating the Green Bean leaves too.

I had replant some seeds

because some the the seedlings were too far gone.

Nasturtium

Carrots

Mint

Spinach

Head Lettuce and Leaf Lettuce

Compost Pile

Blackberry Bush
