Garden Notes 5/22

May 22nd, 2010 10:15 am

Everything 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/
