It is really nice harvesting fresh food from my own garden. Despite a very strange growing season, I have some very promising beets and zuchini plants. I’ve never grown either one before, so I’m very pleased with the results. One thing, though. If you ever have the pleasure of eating fresh beets rather than the kind that have been soaking in a can for six months or more, be prepared for a rather shocking digestive outcome the next day. 8^O
On another note, the marigolds and petunias haven’t helped a bit. The flea beetles are eating the marigolds almost as fast as they eat the bok choy.
