Early blight, Rust, Late blight, powdery mildew, Coryneum Blight, BCTV

Pathogens have hit my little garden and are killing it.....

To date I have seen Early blight, Rust, powdery mildew, and BCTV last year.

This year we see Late blight, Early Blight, BCTV, Fire blight,
Coryneum Blight, apple scab(or
Pear Sawfly), and possibly Rust.

That's 6 0r 7 nasty, evil, plant killing, fungi; and one virus transmitted by an insect.

Today I sprayed copper soap on everything, and hit the area with some seven.

Big changes cometh

Big changes have come to my garden, two days ago I pulled out the last of the peas and decided that the broccoli and cauliflower has passed it's time and pulled it out too. Then I moved the struggling pepper plants out from under the shaded bed and to bed 3 where I had just pulled out the peas and cole plants.

With all the plants I pulled out my compost is starting to have a good start.

ode to lettuce

oh lettuce how tasty you once was, but once cometh up your time is so short.
the days have come and past us by, once eaten by us is eaten no more.
what missed our plate, grew so strong and was also shared by menacing bugs.
ravaged by man and insect you stood strong still and took to heart the shining sun.
now what's left is stretching out, what could our little lettuce seek?
alas the sun's strong heat has poached my prize and set it to beat the seat.
bolting out from little heads is my flowering lettuce that once Fed ted.
