Those look great , I may be a horrible Gardner but I make up for it in my cooking skills . Iv made tons of different salsas , the best I make is when I smoke the tonatoes and onions then blend in my other untouched ingredients . Give it a try

Reading Eliot coleman " the organic grower" wow what a book . Has any one used green manure or under cover to help with weeds and used in the spring to till in the dirt? Yes, used rye grass this year. It does help with winter and early spring weeds.

Those are the cocoons of a parasitic wasp . They'll take care of your hornworm problem .

Been getting a lot of ripe tomatoes , I'm not getting new flowers and I'm cutting blight out everyday. I don't know how long these plants are gonna last
I have got 3 squash and 3 cucumbers, tons of jalape๑o.
Grass hoppers are moving in and causing a lot of damage to my plants .
Question, I had plans to make a fall garden , Bermuda is horrible in my garden . If all my plants look like death come July, would you pull the plants, cover with plastic for a month to kill the grass? Then come back for my fall garden with the weed fabric?

I have got 3 squash and 3 cucumbers, tons of jalape๑o. My tomato's are in a few different stages. Porters - Still growing and blooming and setting fruit - Still my favorite tomato plant Cherokee Purple - Has slowed. This plant has sucked all year. Hasn't set a lot of fruit all year. I won't plant them again. Red Duce - Has completely shut down. But it set 19 very large tomatos prior to shutdown. Wonder how good it would have done had the heat not set in so soon. I'll plant these again. This is my last year planting 2 different indeterminates. It's a jungle for my smaller area. From now on it's a Porter and a couple determinates like the Red Duce.

If you plan on using that same plot this fall ; you'd do better to pull all the Bermuda roots up by hand and then re-planting . Bermuda is a good lawn grass (IMHO) but it's a beach in the garden . Solarization (using plastic) will kill it but it takes more than 30 days and you always have to keep an eye on encroaching growth around the garden perimeter . Keep in mind that the heat under the plastic will sterilize the soil . You'll have to inoculate the plot with beneficial nematodes/bacteria/worms/etc. in order to have a healthy garden . If you want to try it I'd suggest putting the plastic down now in another area . Take the plastic off next spring and till in some compost .

All three of my roma tomatoes only prodiced like 5 tomatoes but the all had blossom end rot , it's the only kind that did . My improved porter and celebrity produced the best. My roma and phoenix sucked.
I don't see how I could get all the roots up of the grass in a area this large , plus I have hay on top of it all . Im kinda stuck on what to do. Maybe skip the fall garden and just plant potato, onion , and garlic in old horse troughs? Cover the garden until next spring? It's gotta get out at some point
