Week 12

This week I was extremely happy to see the growth of my garden. I came back, and I had a pepper that was almost fully grown and there were some that were beginning to grow as well. I am hoping to be able to harvest the pepper next week. I also noticed that an eggplant was beginning to grow for the first time. My bok choy was doing extremely well and looked very healthy. Now I am sure that I will be able to harvest some of my veggies in time for Thanksgiving so I can share it with my family. I did, however, noticed that there was an increased amount of bugs in the garden. I noticed some on my plants, but I also got bit by many of them. This could be due to the time change. Other than that, I maintained my garden by pulling the weeds. It is still sometimes difficult to differentiate between some plants and weeds. Nonetheless, I was able to clear my garden of the weeds so that that do not continue to take fertilizer from my plants that need it. I also laid hay down to try and prevent the weeds from continuing growing. I am hopeful that my garden will be producing many vegetables in the weeks to come!
