Row cover

We had peppers and eggplants under row cover since we planted them, but I checked and noticed that they are both beginning to flower. 

The pollinators (bees, butterflies, moths, etc.) need to get into those flowers, so that means it's time to remove the row cover. 

The plants look big and healthy, as do all the weeds! Hopefully the plants are big enough now to withstand any attack by flea beetles or other pests.

We’ll save both the row cover and the ground staples for the next time we need to use them.
