This is the very first thing I have harvested this year. Correnta Spinach
I'm getting used to the floating row cover and my veggies are doing well shaded under it. The black PVC hoops are the perfect height. And with the amazing amount of butterflies I am glad that my cabbages and such are protected. Anything that doesn't need to pollinate to grow can go under it.
And here is my second harvest of the year. It is the first time I've grown baby bok choy. And you can see that the stalks are pretty skinny but it was starting to bolt. Maybe now that I'm not having to baby a lot of the stuff under my grow lights I can dedicate a little time to studying up on how to do a better job at growing these.
Today I weeded between my tomatoes with my parrot on my shoulder. Once he decided to climb on my head it was time to send him inside with my children. We got 3/4 of an inch of rain on Friday in just a few hours which is rare around here in the high desert so I didn't get the rows tilled that are full of weeds and haven't been planted. I did put some nitrogen on the corn patch. I'll till before it rains again next week and then plant the corn - popcorn - and if it doesn't grow, I will not plant corn again. If you live nearby please tell me who to buy sweet corn from this summer.
