Post Top Two Tiers
on: May 15, 2010, 04:40

Let’s try to keep the top two tiers for high-yield, low-growing, large footprint plants like squash /zucchini and climbers like cucumbers.

We’ve already turned the soil on the top two terraces. Black compost should be added to the topmost one. We’ll start planting on Sunday (May 16)

From Hannah:

Just wanted to let you know that all the summer squash plants are infested with the squash vine borer. I pulled a dozen or so of the nasty little buggers out yesterday by slicing the main stem vertically and removing them with a knife. It is very important that the damaged stems stay covered with moist soil to encourage re-roooting. I think we might lose 1 or 2 plants unfortunately, but they might stand a chance if they stay properly watered and covered. If you could spread the word for people to pay closer attention it will help out a lot! Fingers crossed.

Foodie.
