Today I planted squash transplants. The squash I transplanted a few weeks ago are HUGE by comparison, so much so that I fear not all of these transplants will make it. But at least now they're in and they have a fighting chance. As I try to do with all transplants, I put a bit of E.B. Stone's Sure Start at the bottom of each transplant's hole. I still have a couple acorn squash and butternut squash transplants that I didn't put in, mostly because I don't know where the heck I'm going to put them!
I also pruned tomatoes. The Paul Robeson and Blood Gulch were slower to start and are only about half the height of the other tomatoes now. I realized today that part of the reason for this is that they were putting all their effort into growing strong suckers. I should have pruned them much earlier. Now I know.
The daphnia population for feeding my aquaponics has exploded. They're going through the green water really quickly. Every couple days I have to pull water out of the main setup to feed them, otherwise their water becomes quite clear and you can see the thousands of little bugs wiggling about.
