Good news and bad news from the Garden - we have ladies' finger(okra) on our plants, but the plants have become pretty weak due to severe leaf miner attack. We were bit late to intervene, but after spraying the neem-oil and detergent solution, things became a bit better, but still not very good state. You can't hurry or slow down the growth of the plants - everything has a natural rythm that you need to get used to. But it hasn't spread across the plants, so we have not removed the plants and they continue to flower and produce more
.Tomatoes have flowered as well though there is a bit of leaf miner attack which we are trying to fend off. Carrots are doing well, but the soil we used appears to be a bit heavy for it to grow well. The green pepper plants are going steady and the lone onion plant seems to be the most healthy of the lot.
But it sure is a great hobby that the whole family(including our 1.5 year old toddler) can enjoy and work as a team unlike other individual hobbies like running and cycling.
