Did some big gardening today, staking tomato plants, weeding, and pruning the massive sunflowers. I also did quite a bit of harvesting: the biggest harvest we've had so far! See the photos below:
Those are beets, carrots, banana peppers, two tomatoes, and three cucumbers! Plus a big bunch of basil!





We also have some problems, including blossom end rot, which causes the bottoms of tomatoes to rot when the plant isn't getting enough calcium. I'll be buying some soil calcium supplement today~~

The other issue is Powdery Mildew, which is afflicting the squash.... I have to figure out an organic way to solve this, because otherwise our squash crop could be gone within two weeks!
