Our Zucchini plant (generously given to us by SOMA Farm Report after their trip to Love Apple Farm) is getting eaten up by something. It's not clear whether it's impacting growth, but it certainly doesn't look good. We haven't done anything yet to address the situation, and we're open to ideas.
Next to our zucchini, our cucumber plant is looking a little under the weather as well. The leaves are turning a brownish rust color, and no sign of any cucumbers (but perhaps that's to be expected).
Meanwhile, the squash are mostly looking okay. They are huge! Small animals could live underneath them. Perhaps they do -- our one strawberry disappeared in the night in the past week.
Above us, in the (?) 80' tall Redwood tree in our yard, a war rages. Every morning, a pile of branches has been dumped on our sidewalk. We haven't heard a ruckus, but a birds nest was dropped from the tree over the weekend. No eggs - it looks like the birds lost this round. Weird to think all of this is happening in our yard, but it's all out of view and earshot for us.
