Garden Notes 5/22
May 22nd, 2010 10:15 amEverything that I planted on 5/2 seems to be doing really well. The onions are still going crazy. Beets and lettuce are getting bigger, and the new development this week is there are quite a few potato bushes pushing through.
The peas and radishes which were planted last week are already coming up. The radishes look like a veritable ground-cover. I may have over-planted them slightly.
After transplanting, the tomato and pepper plants are starting to turn yellow. I tried keeping everything well-watered this week, and even gave them some food that’s supposed to encourage new growth. Hopefully they’ll pull through, and it’s not due to a pest or disease. One thing I read was that it might be a nitrogen deficiency. I think I’ll focus on more careful watering and see what happens.
Google turned up this website which has some good gardening information: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/
