We harvested our first basil of the season. Only about 2 weeks after transplanting and we harvested about .61 pounds from 12 plants. We also harvested about .5 pounds of jalapeno peppers from about the same number of plants. We sold a nice box of veggies to the Corner Store this week which contained the basil, peppers, oranges, and cucumbers. Our tomatoes have started to ripen but are pierced by green stink bugs and leaf-footed bugs. They are also ruining our beans, peaches and some of our peppers. At least we know who our enemies are! Next year when the stakes are higher we will be prepared for the battle. This year we are just letting our bad neighbors over to identify them. Next year we eliminate them! Enjoy your meals now my nemesis. Whaaa ha ha ha ha!
Our eggplants are growing nicely and I cannot believe that the tomatoes are getting as big as they are. The bell peppers are about the size of my inner palm and I am waiting to see if they get a little bigger before changing colors. The tropical pumpkins are getting bigger and the peaches I think are only a few weeks away. I am now off to a web search on how to control green stink bugs ans leaf-footed bugs organically.
