Crop duster spraying again

A crop duster is spraying nearby fields again, upwind at 1:30 PM. The wind speed is 15 mph with 20 mph gusts. Wind speed over just 3 - 5 mph causes drift that can affect land downwind for miles and miles.

The fact that there is no oversight of the crop duster is frustrating. There's no one that I know of to call and register a complaint. The industry is free to do whatever it, whenever.

148 tomato seeds, started 1/5/2024. Seeds maintained at 80° F. 35 ground cherry seeds and 10 pepino seeds started 1/5/24, maintained at the same temperature. 56 pepper seeds started 1/6/24, maintained at 84° F. Notes: cutting back on tomato production, experimenting with novel crops. This is the latest that I've ever started the greenhouse tomatoes.

Straightneck squash planted March 21, 2021

Today, I planted 20 containers of straight neck summer squash. I used last year's perlite in each of the Bato buckets, only pulling out the roots to last year's crops. In some of the buckets I needed to top off the perlite with new perlite. The seeds were from Willhite, tested October 2018. I sowed five seeds in each bucket. April 4, 2021 update: reseeded after poor germination so far.
