Yes, there are mushrooms growing in the lettuce patch.
Okay, I might be over-watering a bit.
But let me distract you from my lack of watering skills with a little hypocotyl action.
The beans are coming up! Little baby beans. So exciting. The Blue Lake and Kentucky pole beans and the snap peas are all coming up.
And here's a beautiful thing of nature that I'd like to kill:
This little cabbage moth (seen here taking an early morning snooze on the sundrop) and its little buddies are laying their eggs all over the cabbage, kale and bok choi. So far I've kept the resulting cabbage worms at bay by knocking eggs and worms off manually, but it's tedious work checking each leaf of each plant each day.
Additionally, we're still dealing with cutworms, which I just read on the internet are the caterpillars of the Miller moths that we had earlier this and last month. If I would have known I'd be dealing with their little destructive offspring, I'd've had much less sympathy for the poor dumb moths to begin with. Yesterday's victim was a nasturtium.
This little radish was my reward for getting my garden chores out of the way early. Like 6:30 in the morning early.
