The Great Heat Wave
It’s been a blisteringly hot week or so in Vancouver. I’ve been watering my garden daily, sometimes twice, and still my tomatoes look tired at the end of the day. Luckily all appears to be going well!
I thinned my beets out in the garden box. Not having the heart to let the little seedlings die, I tried to replant them in a flower box and as a second row of beets in the garden. Not sure if they’ll survive or not. They look pretty wilty still and it’s been two days.
Today cucumber sprouts started showing in my big 15″ container! Only three sprouts so far, but since I’ve forgotten how many seeds I planted, I’ll take that as a good sign! These are slicing cukes, not English cucumbers. I find the English variety too watery tasting.
The garden guardian seems to be doing an excellent job. No birds have pestered the plants since our owl went on duty!
