lindajI went to work early and stayed at work late for ONE DAY (OK, sort of 1.5 days, since I started work early again the next day), and I didn't check the garden, and two of my zucchinis went from "not big enough to pick yet" to "too big." Not "There's no way I would eat that"-big, but bigger than ideal. Hmmph.
We also harvested the first of the grape tomatoes last night, and one Roma that had suffered from blossom end rot. I determined that the others will BER are too far gone to save, so I pulled them off the plant to let it focus its energy on the remaining healthy fruits.
Meanwhile, one of the nascent summer squashes was eaten off to a nub (which is better, perhaps, than a single bite being gone from each), and my homemade beer-in-a-yogurt-cup slug traps caught one whopper of a slug. I dumped it into the compost and refilled the traps...though I really should acquire some cheap beer for the task, rather than continuing to use the good stuff in the fridge.
