I am happy to report that everything I planted last week has sprouted. (I'm always a little skeptical) Now if I can keep the squash bugs and stink bugs away, I should have a pretty good harvest. I have noticed lots of black stink bugs with spots lately. I just read on another website that fennel and dill plants can deter the bugs, and I've noticed lots more since I cut down my dill that had gone to seed. I guess next year I'll keep it in the ground until I'm ready to pull up everything else!

That's right. You should be more dilatory.
