Ottawa Hortiphilia

An enabling site for the horticulturally obsessed. Life around my urban plot is green! (except in the middle of winter in Canadian zone 5a then it's mostly sludgy brown and white.)

What's going on in the garden?

Updated Sept 9 - the pest report

My cabbage was attacked by head rot because some of them split though most of the Mammath red rock was a-ok. Carrots have some bite marks but the beets look and taste fab. My alliums were raded by leek moth which not surprisingly nabbed all the leeks and left the perennial onions sparse. Garlic chives were more or less unaffected. This is the fourth year running that the chinese lanterns have kept the colorado potato beetle away from my solanums and I saw nary a cucumber beetle this year but then again I was away.


Do I have hortiphilia?
