Full throttle

This must be full throttle. Everything is growing fast, producing fruit, and looking great. We picked another 36 cups of peas this week, a few Roma tomatoes, some cherry tomatoes, peppers of all sorts, etc. The corn is growing fast and strong. The tomatillos are doing so well, they’re practically out of control.

The only negative piece of news is the arrival of squash bugs. So far they’re hanging out in strange places, like in the tomatoes and peas, but it won’t be long till we start seeing their eggs on the underside of the squash leaves. We have a lot of squash this year, so checking each leaf takes a lot of time. I’m sure I won’t find every egg, but for now everything looks clean.
