So. Much. Rain. Unfortunately it started raining on Monday morning and didn't really let up. But we hadn't been to Morris is a while, so there was so work that had to get done, rain or shine. There was lots to harvest: squash, kale, mizuna, tomatoes - including our first taxi tomatoes - and malibar spinach. Unfortunately some of the squash wasn't looking so great, probably because of the squash beetles. Removing the two squash plants last time we were at Morris wasn't enough. There were some young squash beetles on the squash plants on the other side of the garden, but we killed those and removed all of the eggs from the leaves. To be extra safe, we sprayed the leaves with soapy water, hopefully that will be enough! The rain eventually got heavier so we went inside to taste the yellow taxi tomato, before calling it an early day.
