April 9th
Well I survived the first week! No serious injuries but lots and lots of bruises and splinters. I could read a thousand books but still not learn as much as I have in the last few days. This morning we sprayed the broccoli and cauliflower with the bacillus thuringiensis. The best thing about alternative natural pesticides is they are very mild; it will wash off the plants with a good rain or even a very humid day. We will keep our eyes on the broccoli and cauliflower, and spray again if needed. The peas have poked through about an inch so we put up trellises for the peas vines to grow up. I cant believe how quickly the peas are coming up.
The last few days have been sunny and the hoop houses are nice and warm, it feels like the middle of June in there. Saw my first tick of the season, I am terrified of ticks! I mean seriously terrified!
