The broccoli I bought that already had a head on it bolted when warm spring weather got here this week. Need to remember not to pick cold crops with head already. Also need to remenber to pick ones that the stem is short and close to the earth. The tall stemmed ones I bought seem to be struggling with the wind.

Discovered both the cucumber plants dead Saturday morning the stems had fallen over in half not too suprisimg since they had lost all their leaves. When I pulled them up found baby slugs on the roots will reapply sluggo tomorrow. Squash plants seem to be struggling with too long a stem and losing their leaves since the wind has been merciless lately. I plan to remove them tomorrow. I will reseed both the cucumbers and squash tomorrow morning. I am switching the location of the cucumbers, so the okra is in between them to try and prevent cross polination. Next year I do not need to start squash or cucumbers for transplant instead seed them directly.
I sprayed liquid tea and sea fertilizer tonight.
