flaming June as we says in england well not flaming June here at the moment but getting there lows of 50-55 and highs to 75 but thats good at the moment

plenty of watering and weeding this month as i got 95% of my stuff in but
i got a bigger problem i been told by the man who owns the plot i got
yes the Colorado potato beetle i heard about it in UK but we never get there but here its sometimes bad the man said watch out for it as they do get it there and i reminder about 3 weeks back i saw a bug on the ground and thought (is that the dreaded beetle and i think it might have been )as i checked my potatoes leaves and found 2 lots of eggs from the beetle OK i only got 3 rows of potatoes so hopefully i will be able to them at bay or hand pick them off and check them every 2-4 days

6th June
sown outdoors 2nd lot of f.beans and s onions and try ed for the first time k Rabi
things looking good in the garden but need lots of water due to sandy and good drainage soil

June 14
first cock up this year planted the lettuce i sown back end of may and the man who gave me garden had some leeks and broccoli to plant to i planted them as well Sunday morning watered well then went Monday night to check them and the lettuce and broccoli had wiltered to nothing (due to sun and 75-77 deregess last 2 days ) my fault i should have gone and checked them earlier might get a few out of them if not well people do make mistakes and i still learning the weather etc here for veg and with temp going to 80-85 frow now on i been to keep check on seedlings and new sown stuff and make sure they dont dry out
