Our garden is mostly planted. We are waiting for some of our tomatoes and pepper plants that we started from seed to grow a little bit bigger before we transplant them. Unfortunately, we pretty much lost all our green beans to corn maggots (yuck). Apparently all the cow manure (since our garden was once pasture) that we thought was going to be excellent fertilizer is actually an amazing breeding ground for these tiny green bean destroying bugs. But not all hope is lost. We can replant and as it gets warmer and drier, the green beans hopefully will be able to grow faster than the bugs can eat them.
We also kind of wondered if birds weren't nibbling here and there on some of the peppers and squash plants, so Nate made a scarecrow. It's pretty creepy looking but it seems to be doing the trick.
