I finally cut the overgrown stuff in the front way, way back. Mostly it was Sweet Potato Vine, which has grown like crazy and was hiding a ton of plants I didn't know where there. And I pulled out a ton of dead shit off the poor day lilies, which are barely hanging on, Oh, and I cut the Black Eyed Susan and the Echinacea down quite a bit, because their dried out heads were depressing. I found a Hosta.
The container veggies are kind of stagnant. The Romaine Lettuce looks fantastic and I'm going to probably cut it soon, yay. The kale is growing very slowly, and it has some significant bug damage. The Bok Choy are getting decimated by the bugs. The stupid radicchio in the window box is growing and everything, and it looks fine and healthy, but it's not making any radicchio. It looks like I started those in early August, and while I think they are 80 or 90 day, they don't look like anything good is going to happen there. I think they might be bullshit. I may want to rip them out and put in more lettuce or spinach or something. The long container where I had the mesclun is ok, there's what looks like arugula and some stuff... I would like to replant it with another row but I need to get more seeds. There's another long container where I put the rest of the mesclun seeds a while ago, and they're germinated and sprouted, but then they did nothing for the last 2 -3 weeks.
I have like, 4 6 packs of baby Bok Choy starts but I don't know where to put them. They all seem to get nommed on by these little bugs, maybe also caterpillars. If I go through the trouble of transplanting all these, will I just attract more of these little fuckers? The ones I have are already much bigger than I thought they would be, so I'm going to go ahead and harvest those, and transplant the starts back into that container. (I should go through it first and make sure there are no disgusting caterpillars.
