Pest of the week...

The pest of the week is whatever is eating my strawberries. At first I thought it was birds eating the strawberries at the edges of the strawberry patch. But today I found some inside the patch that makes me think some kind of slug...

Bites from the strawberries

Harvest: Strawberries (unbitten), Cilantro, Bak Choy

Bak Choy: these also took some bites... But I'm thinking this must be slugs from all the wet weather.

Mid May: Where are my Greens?

So I had planted bok choy, lettuces, kale and they are taking their sweet time. There are vegetables springing up here and there but it's not very exciting growth yet. I also took the time to plant my tomatoes and eggplants because their growth stagnated over the past month. Ironically, the peppers seemed to burst with new life this past month.

Sparkle Strawberries just dominated my patch this year.
