And now for the weekly update...(4/27/13)
As you can see, one of our cucumbers has gone absolutely insane. I'm calling it Godzilla.
We put up a net trellis for Godzilla and Godzilla Jr. to climb. Apparently, cucumbers yield more fruit when they grow on a trellis. I don't know how good we're doing getting it to climb though.
The tomatoes are doing well, except something is chomping the lower leaves and I don't know what it is. I'm not sure the organic soap is working so I'm going to get some neem oil this weekend.
We had a minor mishap with the mesclun. I feed the plants a plant food every month. The directions say to put it along the drip line... no. If you put it along the drip line it will MOLD. I sprayed the mold with a 1:20 vinegar solution and put the planter in the yard in full sunlight. I think it's getting better.
The spinach plants are growing steadily. Godzilla blocks some of them from full sunlight but they're still growing.
All of the other plants are doing great except Mr. Stripey! Yes it seems his "great adventure" is to grow leaves and jack shit else! I think we're going to transplant him into the big planter and see if he does any better.
