Day 111 - Mixed Vegetables


This morning I took the time to inspect the plants in Locations 1-3. There was both good and bad news. First of all I spotted a greenfly and signs of whitefly. I killed any that I could find and washed the leaves. I removed any leaves that looked beyond repair. Unfortunately, I had left my bug spay in Location 5, so was unable to spray the plants today. I'm slightly disappointed by this aphid infestation as I can't recall anything similar happening to last year's crop.
The good news, however, is that I can see the first signs of flowering on some of my plants. Bizarrely, the most advanced is the Unknown Variety. This already has a small flower and the buds of several more. I must re-pot all my large plants into bigger pots as soon as possible. Probably a job for Sunday afternoon!
