The pics in this post were taken on May 29th 2009 and June 1st. The cucumbers have been planted and are not doing too well, seem to be having some root problems, either fungal/bacterial disease or pests eating the roots. I will direct seed some cucumber in the spots between the plants in case the transplants fail on me.
Note that the leaves of the plant on the left are wilted
Leave of plant on right are wilted
June 1st 2009 - The wilted cucumbers have continued to get worse I suspect
fusarium or
pythium rot
All the lettuce is doing really well and I am harvesting some every morning to make a salad for my mom and myself for lunch. However the spinach leaf miners keep laying eggs on the leaves, I try to stay on top of harvesting the affected leaves before the eggs hatch or before the larvae do too much burrowing in the leaf.
I add a bit of everything to the salad - spinach, five types of lettuce (Royal Oakleaf, Black Seeded Simpson, Sanguine, Lollo Bionda, and Dixter MI) as well as some Sweet Salad basil and some parsley. To that I add some freshly sliced cucumber (purchased) and some sliced tomato (Canada greenhouse grown on the vine) and I just drizzle some Balasamic vinegar on top and some freshly ground pepper.
Datura Stramonium seedling sprouting (self seeded, not planted by me). This is a member of the nighshade family (same family as potatoes, pepppers, tomatoes, eggplant, tomatillos etc.), it has a big white trumpet shaped flower and the fruit are green and spikey.
