We planted corn and two types of squash in the ground, along with a few more onions last week.  The cauliflower in the ground has grown a bit, despite whatever has been eating tiny holes in the leaves. The spinach is looking close to bolting.  We have a single flower on the peas and the chive flowers have burst into balls of petals.  It’s slow going back in the cold and wet.  Today’s high was 55, missing the average of 70 by a long shot.

There are dark shiny spots on some of the tomato leaves in the large pots.  We think it’s bacterial speck or spot, whose only treatment we’ve read about is copper spray.  We couldn’t find anything useful at Lowe’s, so we’ll try McLendon’s this weekend.

Mike has confirmed Tux’s guilt as garden destroyer.

Here’s one of the happier still to be planted squash from a few days ago:
