Woe is me. There's been more casualties in the veggie garden this season. Once again, just like last year, I had to do away with my entire broccoli crop. Then I cried.
Somehow, gypsy moths are burrowing into my broccoli and laying their eggs (or whatever the nasty little sprouts are). When I went to harvest broccoli last week, it was inedible. Just like last year.
So in the picture above, you see 8 sad, missing spots where broccoli once inhabited, happily.
The good news is that nothing else seems to be effected. Peppers, peas, cukes...everything else LOVED last week's rain and this week's temperatures. Can you spot the two purple peppers growing on the pepper plant??
My peas are growing like crazy!
And the first carrot harvest is just about ready (left) while the next harvest finally broke ground this week (right).
Both zucchini plants are spreading and blossoming.
And both blueberry bushes have some varying shades of blue!
Speaking of blue, hello beautiful. This hydrangea was one of the first things I ever planted here at our house. Whispy and frail, I wasn't sure of it's placement or whether it would ever bloom big. Here we are 3.5 years later and I LOVE it. L*O*V*E*
