Brooklyn Veg Out

I pulled the Asian Greens Mix, most went to flower. I need the planter for a tomato.

But, quite surprisingly, the Renee's Garden Baby Mesclun Lettuce is still producing leaves. I will cut some today and enjoy a salad (I do not do this very often!)

The broccoli 'Calabrese' in the side veg garden has not bolted, like it had in the front yard. The leaves are a little wilty from the sun, but otherwise extremely healthy. No aphids, no worms, nada.

A floret is forming. The stems are long and I think I will eat them too as they are quite tender.
I think the cool and wet weather has staved off early bolt on these. The side garden gets morning to noon sun, unlike the front yard which is morning to late afternoon sun. Its much cooler.

I don't remember if I posted a photo of the egg sac on the tomato support, but these little mantids are jumping all over the place. They do jump, quite springy! Its on the rusty tip of my long-handle trowel. I should take better care...

I begun moving planters around for the fabric that I will lay underneath them. Lots and lots of fatty earthworms. I've seen this always, but decided to post it. The activity of the creatures under the planters seems to create these little soil balls. It looks like fecal matter, but I don't think it is. I think its from movement and what else? Any body?
