Wow! The Garden has exploded…along with the weeds and bugs! As we raise things organically, we plant a little extra to anticipate the pests and bad weather, but this year has been different with the wet, wet spring, and the near 100 degrees for a week or two!

This is my lead up to the story of poor little Happy Rich (broccolini). The spring rains came, and came, and came. Happy Rich soaked it up, reveling in the fresh drink, but soon the ground wrapped around his strong roots was suffocating him! Happy Rich needed oxygen from his soil, but alas, the oxygen had been replaced by water. He withered, but hung on…! Mr. Lygus Bug and the green worm that likes cabbage and anything else Brassica-like, found the weakened Happy Rich, who was not so happy any more. They began to nibble his flowering head, and chew holes in his leaves. The Farmer’s Wife harvested the best she could, squashing Mr. Lygus and his kin as she went along.

Good news–only 10 feet were severely affected and they will be skipped next time! Farmer will spray some Bacillus Thuringiensis to give the worms a tummy ache, and we will tolerate the Lygus as best we can. There are things that kill Lygus, but it is questionable as to how good they are for the bacteria in our own gut!

Box this week–Week 3– is LOADED!
