The garden is doing great in some areas and not so great in others. The Japanese eggplant from last year was doing SO well. We would have had at least 100 eggplants growing. But, then, the dreaded aphids arrived in the thousands. We decided to take out the eggplant and plant two new ones, but first we researched the best organic solution to get rid of them. GARLIC! You can use garlic spray or garlic dust. We chose the dust and so far, they haven't come back. The broccoli (above) is doing fantastic, but taking over the garden a bit. The cukes don't have enough room to thrive, but they are doing okay. Below is our raspberry bush that looks beautiful, but no raspberries yet.
And, the banana peppers are starting to grow. The habanero pepper plant has many flowers and will have habaneros just in time for some yummy jerk chicken barbecue this summer.
