I had some leaf miners on my columbine leaves. I cut off the affected leaves and spritzed the plant with diluted neems oil.
My summersowing hasn't gone well. the containers were getting mossy/moldy, so I removed the tops. The birds have been nibbling my seeds and planting sunflowers and birdseed in their place. Arghh. I'll save my seeds for wintersowing! This year, I am filling my wintersowing containers before it gets too cold and planting at my leisure. I have a small place and store my potting mixes and ingredients in rubber maid garbage cans. I had to wheel them inside last winter to defrost before I could start planting.
It is a bit cooler today, only in the nineties with some scattered thunder storms. The past few days have been brutally hot.
