With all of the rain of late and my diligent weeding, the garden is looking pretty tip-top. The strawberry bed in particular is looking about as green and healthy as ever. I'm not sure if I'm helping or hurting the plants but whenever I see a leaf that's been munched on, I snip it right off at the base. 9 times out of 10 there's already a leaf start coming up, I figure this might keep the plant more vital but I'd be happy to hear any one's input on this one.
Speaking of input, let me throw this one out there...
To fertilize or not to fertilize?
I haven't for 3 years but I'm very tempted to try the miracle grow experiment this year as I haven't put anything in this garden for some time. I'm going to have carrots and onions (in addition to tomatoes and strawberries) so I'm curious to see if I can increase my normal yield.
Sunny today, may it last until this early afternoon when my planters are in full sun.
