The class is almost over with the crops looking great. The tomatoes have taken a complete 360. After putting on the dried blood the tomatoes have completely transformed. Today, we washed the tomato leaves with soap to get rid of the diseases. They are all tall and green instead of being shriveled and yellow from last week. Peas look good, they are starting to tangle so we need to train them to grow on the tee pee. The nasturtium and basil look nice. The raspberry died, I have no idea what happened there. The strawberries are good too but I'm not completely confident in them. We saw 3 bees today and its blazing hot! In the garden next door I planted climbing french beans, lazy housewife beans, and strawberry corn.
