The Beets Strike Back!

Great news!

The beets I transplanted did in fact sprout new leaves about a week after they were moved.  The old stems and leaves are retaining water but continue to wither.

Transplanted Beets sprout new baby leaves.



























The carrots are showing signs of recovery as well.  They do not have new growth like the beets but some of them are holding themselves fully up and off the ground again.

Transplanted Carrots are recovering.


The broccoli and brussels sprouts are unfolding gorgeous full leaves that get bigger by the day.  A new set of holes began appearing on them.  When I looked closer I discovered a small green worm.   An hour later I had picked off eight total.  They have not done enough damage to make an impact on the plants - yet.  It could be time for the Garlic Fire Spray.

Look close - can you see the worm?
See the worm on my finger tip?





One more snap shot of the whole garden just a few days before Christmas.


2.5 Months of Growth!
