• From Queenbee: Allie Treske
  • plant zucchini under pole beans in B13
  • Plant butternut squash in B6, cucumber in B4
  • Weed to keep our beds ahead of the developing weeds...15 min per bed is worth hours in July!
  • Mulch ... just a bit left, could be used on eggplant.
  • New mulch run on Mon June 13, hopefully!
  • Water...on "A" side of main path, esp. keeping tomatoes moist for constant development, carrots+onions. In evening, water seedlings like cucumbers, pole beans, edamame so they get an overnight to relax.
  • Remove "delicious earth" (Thanks Sammy) from the path between A27 and the melon bed and put to the chard bed. ATTENTION: There are ants in the middle of A27, between the current chard plants.
  • harvest greens...may be nearing their end of life; some beets, onions, peas, carrots, new potatoes (plants have not yet died back, skins have not yet hardened for preservation).
• From Justin
  • Cucumbers have been transplanted/thinned from B-5 to the second half of B-3. They could really use a watering ASAP so if you are near the garden this morning/afternoon... Also,
  • B-4 has lettuce that is going to seed and is planned to be saved.
  • I suggest that we plant another bed of cucumbers (instead of B-4) as far from that area as possible to make the pests job a little harder. The bed with the wheat has a middle third with arugula and mustards that have gone to seed that can be used or the bed next to it with lettuce that has bolted is another option (B-20?).
