We've begun to harvest a few tomatoes, yellow squash and golden zucchini at the Takin' it to the Edge Community Garden at Buckeye Lake. Typically, the kid in the neighborhood will help themselves to the veggies during the week. This is ok because we grow vegetables for the community so we will just evaluate what seems popular and grow more of those veggies next year.
We've also had our fair share of pests. We found a slug on a tomato. I've never seen that before, but because we have not taken good care of the tomatoes and staked them properly I was not that surprised we'd have a slug on any of the veggies. Another issue is vine borers in the squash and zucchini. Tonight we decided to just go ahead and take out the squash and zucchini plants.
One a more positive note the flowers seem to be doing well with the warm weather and dry conditions.
