Met Travis in the grocery store (he was tisking the pathetic state of the organic chard) and he revealed that the tips of the peas in garden 2 have been visited by "miners", but it shouldn't affect the harvest. We also talked about:
Snap peas need to be picked or they will stop producing. I will be picking whatever is left at end of Wednesday for donation. Check the snow peas, too.
Bok choy is ready to be thinned--just gently pull out plants that are touching each other so that there are at least several inches between plants.
Beets in garden 2 need thining.
And in broccoli news, contrary to my alarm on Saturday, the broccoli is NOT bitter--after it's cooked. I threw it into boiling salted water for a few minutes and it was great. If you didn't pick up some from the pail last Saturday, I hope there'll be more big heads in a week or so.
