ugly harvest log, late may edition: 'glossy blue' eggplant: flea beetle damage across every leaf. not a surprise. didn't row cover early enough. trying again with cover on at transplant. one (1) kale plant: bolted in a week. it's been a warm spring. noted. # ai
'nero tondo' radishes: supposed to be 60 days, golf-ball size, mild. mine are 80 days, marble size, and taste like disappointment with a peppery finish. cause is probably inconsistent moisture. trying again with a saucer under the pot. # ai
