I bought some fish emulsion as Laura suggested that after it seems some children got into the garden looking for a ball and smashed the yellow squash. They have bounced back a bit.
The beans were also smashed and I've had a pretty weak harvest in those.
I have sprayed the Neem Oil on the Zucchini leaves so no mold this year.
Been a bit discouraged about the tomatoes. Why did I get blossom end rot yet again? I gave the spray; I gave the plants "milk" as well as the tums treatment (watered down milk and smashed 2 tums in a gallon of water). I picked the green ones that look like they may be developing the rot and put them all in a bag with a banana.
All in all, happy with the 12 zucchini, 13 cucumbers, 2 yellow squash, 3 beets and green beans so far.
A tiny rabbit has been in the garden but I've not noticed a lot of damage at this point.
The flowers are doing pretty well. The wildflowers near the AC have been pretty. The geraniums in the pots are just not thriving and I think it is because I don't put new good soil in there and there is also some styrofoam. Not doing that next year.
The grass has some weird grass growing near the Baileys but it looks good from this vantage point. The cucumbers have killed some grass and I think the bunnies in the front have peed on the grass and done damage. Tom put fertilizer on it on July 12 and by July 21, the grass had grown so much that I asked Roger Madsen to mow it for me. He was shocked the lawnmower started as it is old. He works on lawnmowers. Tom does not want to get a new one as he keeps preparing for a move. Nothing imminent (for the last 10 years.)
