Try tickling your zucchini

By ELEANOR GODLEY

Wednesday, July 22: The
chard isn't mad at me, after
all. It’s up. Mind you, it’s not
very far up, not past the
ankles yet.

Thursday, July 23: More
great celebration. The two
zucchini plants that aren't
stunted have blossoms on
them. They're awfully good
done up around hamburger,
in the Greek manner -- a sort
of exotic form of dolmades.
But no, give the zucchini
another chance.

Friday, July 24: Wake up
in night worrying about
pollinization of zucchini
blossoms. Should they be
tickled with a paint-brush?
Fancy being” marriage-
broker to a couple of squash!

Saturday, July 25: Plots up

behind mine are luxunating

bold feathered carrot head-

crop.

Sunday, July 26: A fellow

‘farmer calls to tell me. the

aphids are back in my Italian
beans. The doggone
diazinon isn't what it’s
cracked up to be. Else this is
a killer strain of aphids. Gun
them with the spray can one
more time.

the black hordes. They are
marching in slimy battalions
up and down the sturdy
stalks of my once healthy
Romanos, forming columns
of four, changing the guard,

they come, fine bunchy
roots clinging to life. Into
the garbage bag. Into the
darkness.

Tuesday, July 28: Without
that lush growth of broad
beans, the garden looks like
an apartment that’s been
moved out of. Consolation is
a handful of bush-beans --
the radish-eater is out of
town, so I eat them all,
delicious. Let’s see, they're
how much per pound -
should be able to knock
something off the twenty-
two initial bucks.

Wednesday, July 29: Plant
two more rows of radishes,
where the first lot suc-
cumbed to senility. Three
months to the day since the
start of this adventure. Its
initial promise is a bit frayed,
eh?
