Up to four

Now up to four shelters built. Latest one doesn't have legs yet. Need to cut up some pallets for materials and also need to pick up more pallets on Friday. Ones I have left differ in size, are ugly and/or have broken parts.

Transplanted out 5 more tomato plants into the newly covered mound for a total of 14 plants now in the ground. Still have a few more about ready to transplant out and dozens of seedlings a couple of inches tall now.

Moved the hutch over and collected, collected the bunny droppings and spread them around the garden. Mixed liberally into the newest mound.

Nicotine spray seems to have done some good. Not much sign of aphids or ants (which herd and "farm" aphids) and not much new damage evident. Still, mixed up some nicotine with onion, garlic and tomato leaf and sprayed the whole garden this evening. Just sprayed around the edges of the tomato mounds. If that works, I'll spray the whole yard. Further I drive the aphids out, the better. Most of the ants will likely follow. I don't mind the ants, themselves. Just their habit of aiding and abetting the aphids.

Still waiting for the lettuce to flower. Sure taking it's time. Should be able to collect lots and lots of seeds from them. Separated out the spinach seeds and wound up with at least a couple hundred. Have to separate out the cabbage seeds tomorrow.
