Kale

I just checked on the kale that we are growing under row cover. Row cover is a polyspun fabric that lets sunlight, rain, and air through. It keeps any frost and hungry bugs away. I was disappointed to find flea beatles there. We had covered the plants hoping that they would remain free of bug chew holes, but unfortunately those tiny black beatles beat us again. Above is a picture of the tender kale under the white row cover. We will have to mix up one of our favorite coctails of calcium, liquid fish, kelp, and Pyganic (an organic pesticide). That should lessen the damage.
