We have several developments since the last update.

Zucchini

The blooms have mostly dried, so we'll see if they turn into zukes. This picture is to show how much the runt has grown. It's the far left plant.

---

Tomato

The tomato is still going strong. I think it's filling out a little. I just make sure it gets plenty of water. I'm also on the lookout for more blooms, which shows promise.

---

Sweet Banana Pepper

The peppers are looking great! All THREE of them. Can you find the new one? Plus, there's a fourth one that should show up in the next day or so.

---

Pole Beans

The beans are also doing well. Many of the vines have reached the second rung of the cages and a few overachievers have made it to the top one. The foliage is filling in, too.

Peas

I added a few more short supports to the rigging. They're easier to see from the back side. I ran a line low for the plants in the back of the outer buckets. They're already better for it. I also added a line between the two upright orange stakes to handle the height those plants are gaining. I'm very pleased to see the rigging is working so well.

Cabbage

I think I've got the earwig situation under control. (Knock wood...) I went out last night just after dark to check on any activity. There weren't nearly as many as I was seeing at first, plus the ones I did see were smaller. I'll take that as a sign of progress and continue to monitor.

We had had some rain, so I needed to re-apply the Diatomaceous Earth just to be on the safe side. Before I did, though, I trimmed back some of the damaged leaves, most of which were in contact with the rim of the bucket.

The individual pics of the cabbage and sprouts are to help spot any new damage if it shows up.

Brussels Sprouts

The brussels sprouts got the same treatment as the cabbage. I had always planned on trimming some leaves on these guys, but not this soon nor for this reason. I think they'll be okay in the long run.
