I have similar holes in some of my pepper plants. Damage looks like it's from Leafcutter bees. But they don't do enough damage to kill them. You might try Spinosad. It works in a similar fashion to Bt. But it last much longer than Bt. Bt breaks down pretty quickly. Spinosad can last around 3 weeks or more.

Roger that. I'll see if I can find some. Thanks!

Asparagus sprouted today. Had a large pot so I figured I'd plant some. I don't know much about growing it besides it will be a year before I can harvest some. Went with Jersey Knight crowns from Tractor Supply. Will learn as I go.

that'll eat in a day or 2...my nabor has a raised bed full of it...grows like crazy...

Got the Spinosad in today. I'll get some on when it quits raining. Thanks!

I now have little baby cucumber, bell peppers, and my tomatoes are getting there.







The weekend rains gave my onions a big boost. They are starting to bulb. Most of my cilantro has gone to bloom and is now drawing bees. Look closely and you can see a couple on there.

Kinda bummed my Golden Delicious apple tree didn't produce any blossoms this year.Its going into its 4th year. Tons of BB size fruits on my orange tree though.

Satsumas do well in my area.

Yeah I would think the Katy area is right on the borderline for growing citrus trees.

Pyganic 1.4 is another good one. You can get an 8oz bottle on amazon and most places for $20.00 - Use it more as a contact killer. I was impressed with the results using it last year. It didn't kill adult squash bugs that well, but killed any of the nymphs very well. Also worked great on aphids and mites. I keep a quart spray bottle mixed up for spot spraying, but you can do a pump up sprayer full garden blanket spraying. Just do it at dusk and follow label mixing instructions.

Just fyi : if you buy seeds from big box stores and plan on a fall garden make sure and buy all you need now . The local Lowe's threw away all their seeds in early summer .

Just ordered me some spinosad.

30 days ago i planted a peach tree with no leaves . When i planted i followed directions which included mixing a 5 gal bucket of water with fertilizer and pouring most in the hole before i planted the tree then i poured the rest of it on top after planting . I watered everyday for two weeks then every 3rd day now twice a week . Tree is covered in leaves and had a bunch of flower buds all over it but i never knew I’d get peaches for at least 2-3 yrs . This morning checked the tree and saw where some bug is starting to nibble on leaves and to my surprise found baby peaches !!

Got tomatoes too from one patio plant . They’re little bigger than golf ball size .

My very first Texas grown summer squash
