The pests are getting a bit peskier. The cross-striped cabbageworms moved into the toscano kale this week. They haven't had the chance to do too much damage, yet, so I harvested all of it this morning just to stay a step ahead. The infested leaves and plant waste went over the fence to the chickens, who greedily and speedily gobbled up plant and protein.
The bok choi is hanging in there, but looking more and more holey. I've been removing cross-striped cabbage worms, but today I found some small green cabbage worms. They are hungry critters.

The really bad news of the day is Rouse discovered squash bugs on the squash plants while he was watering. We squished all that we could see. Hurry and grow little squash fruits!
