This week I noticed that there were some small holes in some of my plants, particularly my eggplant. This made me wonder if bugs had gotten into my garden and began chewing away at some of the plants. For this reason, it is important that I have pest control in my garden. This week, I was able to plant a few new plants. I made sure to use compost for their optimum growth rather than planting them in regular dirt. I also added fertilizer to each of the new plants to aid in their growth. This was the last week of planting in the class, so I am hoping that all of the plants I currently have are solid and will continue growing. It is my hope that many of them will be ready to harvest by Thanksgiving so I can use them in preparing thanksgiving dinner with my family. For the plants that are not going to be ready, I plan on transplanting them to another plot of land. I am interested in joining the horticultural club so I can have a permanent space in the garden. So far all of the plants are looking pretty good and I continue to look forward to harvesting more vegetables.
