No, i will never get rid of it. It was put here as a privacy block between here and neighbor and im fine with it. Every spring we just cut the shoots. This year it had to start over, shoots everywhere.

Heavy frost the other day. Looks like everything in this garden made it.

My onions and tomatoes are looking pretty good. I hope the hail doesn’t come tomorrow.

That does look good. I see you have some dill and basil there too.

Thanks, and I do. I don't have to plant them any more. They come up every year, wherever they want to, which is fine with me.

Looks great gjarman. What variety tomatoes are you growing.

Nice! Give me the row breakdown.

Derek, I have Early Girl, Homestead, Rutgers, and Romas. Homestead and Rutgers are new to me this year. Usually I have Celebrities but didn't this year. Once the Onions are done, I'll go in with Corn, and thinking I might do some okra this year, which will be a first. I'm trying zuchini again after a several year hiatus. I get tired of the squash bugs. My Cilantro is incredible this year. Almost need a brush-hog for that. Peppers look pretty good. Cayenne, Jalapeno (don't remember the variety), and Aneheim.

I appreciate all the help/tips/tricks that I get on this forum. It's really made a difference in my garden.

I dumped last years tomato plants on the side of my house for a while. A few tomato plants have popped up there. They only get about 3-4 hours of morning sun at best. Going to see how they do in a low light situation.

They look healthy thus far. I bet they'll make...

Yeah I think they will grow fine. Just curious how well and how much fruit they will set. I pumped them full of nitrogen yesterday to push growth. I'll switch to a heavy P&K does in a few weeks.

Does P&K help with creation of blooms and fruit?

You can mix soapy water in a pump up sprayer and kill a large amount of the squash bugs. This works for most insects like them with the sucking mouthparts, for example harlequin bugs which will attack cruciferous vegatables like kale, broccoli and cabbage. It wont kill them over time, just the ones that you hit. My big issue with squash is vine borrers.

Thanks Droyhef. I think it's probably the vine borers that get me. Will the soapy water work in them? They can kill a healthy squash plan within a couple of days. I have that Botulism stuff for the worms that eat cabbage, and that works great. I guess 7 dust or something like that might work, but don't particularly care for putting that on my squash. Probably will, but won't love it.

You can inject your vines with Bt. Same stuff you're using on your cabbage. I've never done it. But have read plenty of people doing it. In a nut shell inject the Bt a few inches above the soil every 10 days or so.
