exhalations

Clear and Sunny - Here in the DC area we are blessed with a few clear, mild days this time of year, before the heavy air pollution from all of the single-passenger commuters and the power plants to the west settles in. Took the V-Rex out to run a couple of errands, to check the garden which is doing well, and to check on a couple of trail issues.

The carrots are doing great, tall and green. I didn't thin them enough, not being able to pull perfectly healthy plants, so they won't be as well-spaced as they should be, but they should produce some decent roots. The yellow squash is about to bloom, and there are several large, green tomatoes. The beans keep getting their little buds nipped by some critters, but they are still doing OK. There is one basil plant that survived from the row that I planted. It was the only one that popped up. Guess the conditions weren't optimal for the seeds.

Now all that needs to be done is to stop by regularly to pick off the insects, to keep the soil loose and weed-free, and to keep the tomatoes staked.
