Garden update :)
We planted these Japanese cucumbers for the first time this spring and now they've come in!
Tomatoes!
We didn't do any pinching and so now you can tell. This weekend we'll cut all the foliage on the first foot of height (since we've read and seen ourselves that the bottom leaves get diseased first) and will maybe try to do some pinching. I don't know if it will do much good at this stage.
Basil, mint and some barrel strawberries.
Strawberries are still tricky. The leaves get this white moldy stuff, even after we try no to get water on them. First strawberries are coming in. We'll see how they work out, if we can get more than a handful before the plants get really sick or bugs find their way to our plants. Pill bugs in the past have eaten more of our strawberries than we've had.
