Ok I found some kind of a bug on my tomatoes. Does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of them. They are eating the leaves.
I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle

I don't know what that is. But a quick spray of pyrethrin will probably kill it. I'm not a big fan of highly toxic insecticides. That said, pyrethrin is a contact killer and not a systemic. Most of your pyrethrin's you can buy OTC have other toxins and petroleum carriers or stickers and that's not good. The one I bought it PyGanic and is a pure pyrethrin with a OMRI label. I plan on using it on adult Leaf Footers and adult Squash Bugs in a hand quart/pint trigger sprayer. But I haven't used it yet as my bug problem so far hasn't been that bad.

My cutting/cloning is working out really good. It's only been 1 1/2 weeks and have a ton of roots. Planting one tomorrow.

Early Girls are still producing and the Summersets are just now making . I'm gonna move the 'maters next year because it's been a struggle to keep them alive this summer ( full sun all day ). One bonus from the heat ; it kicks the peppers up a notch . The Mammoth japs are so-so but the Thai, serrano and Hab/Reaper cross are blistering . My Ghosts are amazing . They're a bit smaller than I expected but they'll give you visions .

its predicted to be over 105 for the next week here at Lake Graham, how much should I water to keep my maters & peppers alive. I was thinking about watering each morning and then maybe misting the plants in the afternoon. Any opinions.

Water on the leaves is like a magnifying glass . Wet leaves are susceptible to fungal infections as well .

I have the timers on the soakers set for between midnight and 6 am. on the whole garden at 1 hour intervals every other day hoping some of the moisture can be used before evaporating .

I want to grow summer to fall leaf lettuce. Any suggestions? Lettuce will bolt (go to seed) quickly in the heat . Growing tender greens in fall is all a matter of timing . They don't like it hot and a frost can kill them . You can grow lettuce inside as long as you have adequate lighting . I've had better luck with collards and turnips . They're still producing so far .

We have had good luck in the fall/winter with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, lettuce and cilantro... Start planting seeds in late September

Garden update: About a month ago I threw a big shade over most of the garden. It is only supposed to block 40% of the light but it keeps the temp under it about 10+/- degrees cooler around 2 PM. I have not killed any plants but have had issues. I have had broccoli planted since late march and have yet to harvest any. My hab plant has only grown about 3" since march and has not produced any flowers or fruit. My standard bell peppers seem to only grow to the mini bell size before they start to turn red and the flesh of the fruit is extremely thin. I have celebrity tomatoes still waiting to ripen and when they do the skin breaks allowing them to mold before they full ripen. My Cherokee purple just started putting on fruit about three weeks ago, it is smack dab under the shade so hopefully it will keep on producing. I have a sweet 100, a cherry, and a black cherry that are still producing. The Japanese eggplant is enjoying the heat and I have three eggplants growing, with more blooms showing up daily. I have a tomatillo plant that has grown and bloomed like crazy since early May but has yet to produce fruit. Other than plants growing well but not producing fruit my garden looks great and have not had major plant killing issues. I had to kill a bunch of green inch worms on the broccoli early on but BT plus orange oil cured that issue. I had mating squash bugs show up even though I have icicle radishes blooming all around, but insecticidal soap and orange oil cured that plus manually removing the eggs. Now I need to figure out why I am not getting any production. I know the heat will shut some things down but if I keep everything alive will production start back up after the heat subsides?
A five spot for a shot and a beer? And you wonder how we wound up here.
