Soapy water works good on true bugs like those. Something to do with their lung setup it suffocates them.

Which ones, leaf footed or the horn worm. I have only had 2 horn worms this year but the leaf footed are really bad. Have been for the last 3 years.

red bell peppers for fall/winter stuffed bell peppers to keep the belly warm

lookin HEALTHY !! the aphids have been giving me fits.

used my weedeater tiller attachment and prept the soil, added 4 cu ft of compost/garden soil, put up the wire panel that i'll cover with the white cloth to protect the broccoli / cabbage from the sun



Derek's 4ft raised beds make perfect spot for cucumbers...gonna move 4 of the one's on the far side to the covered bed (2) and to the one above (2) since all 6 seeds came up

Looks really good crapyetr!

i have these little critters flying all over my green beans...i hope they are a "GOOD CRITTER"...what are they???

Looks like a grass skipper butterfly. Not 100% about that though. I don't thank they are that big of a deal. But I would inspect the pea leaves every couple days for caterpillars just incase. Most caterpillars feed at night so a night inspection with a flashlight would be best.

How's everyone's garden looking this fine summer? My Scotch Bonnets are looking awesome, but dropping all their blooms. They hate temps over 95. They should start setting again in a couple weeks. Tabasco, cayenne, jalapenos are producing like crazy. My cherry tomato plant is still producing very well. I stated some clones from my Viva Italia plants. I trimmed back the mother Viva plants and they look good. Putting off new growth and I think they will produce a good fall crop so I gave away my clones. I've been really impressed with the Viva tomatoes.

My husky cherry red tomatoes stopped setting fruit about a month ago,they usually start again in late-September. My quinalt strawberries will hopefully produce a few more berries in the fall as well. Mandarin tree has about a dozen fruits on it. Blood orange tree didn't set any fruit this year.

Do you have your orange trees in a large pot and bring them indoors during winter? HEB had some trees for sale this year. I should have bought one.

Yep,big plastic tubs and bring them inside when temps below 28 degrees are forecast. Then right back outside when it warms above 32.

cukes on the far right...transferred cukes from that bed to the t-p bed and covered it so the transplant wouldn't burn up...they're doin' good...can't see them for the posts to keep the dog out...Porters on the left...cuke plant - cabbage / broccoli seeds under the covered bed...



cuke on the left...u can barely see the broc/cabbage stikin' their nose out...Roma II and Contender green beans at the end...need to pik'm



2 rows of corn spaced 1 ft apart seems to be making ears...hada heck of a crop of bell peppers / jalapenos...still pikin'm



Porters / Celebrity on the left...lost 1 Porter but the other has more room/sun now...slowed down but still have a few on the vine...orta start producing again when the heat is over
