A little tomato, one of the midgets, that I would call ripe (but Dave says not yet).
A ripening Stupice. These are early things by reputation.
A baby Jalapeno pepper.
Corn growing up!
A collard plant that fed some little creature well.
But not this little creature. He only likes to play with the radishes.
Lots of insects! This little ladybug was on patrol in the radish quadrant. (There were also a trio of parasitic wasps, too shy and too fast to pose for photographs, on the hunt for caterpillars in the kale quadrant.)
Also:
We had our first hornworm sighting. Dave caught a little hornworm munching away happily on the purslane. The sluggish little thing was examined (no one thought to grab the camera) and then exiled (read: flung over the fence) into the neighbor's yard.
In the bolting stages: Bok choi, mustard, cilantro, and the Thai and Italian basils. Ah, well!
We fertilized (mostly the patio plants) last Friday. As rich as our soil is, I don't think the garden is going to need much fertilizer for awhile.
