Gardening Photos From Our Garden – June 2022

June is when we can start seeing the fruits of our hard labor. We also harvest lettuce, corn salad, some peppers, herbs, and aromatic herbs. This year we also gathered some early cherry tomato varieties in late June.

We also noticed that some plants attracted aphids, slugs, white flies, and fungus gnats. We treated some more affected plants with Neem oil and water solutions. Other plants were sprayed with a water hose and pruned by hand.
