I planted six broccoli starts this week, hoping the bugs don’t devour them like they did my Swiss chard. The other starts are surviving well after a dusting of diatomaceous earth (DE). The jalapeños are doing well, except for one plant that I harvested the fruit from so they don’t go to waste. And I added fresh goya-bitter melon and eggplant to a leg-of-lamb stir fry that turned out deliciously good! 🤤
