How does your garden grow?

Our corn seems to be loaded with Eastern Leaf Footed bugs. Not sure how to get rid of them, anybody have any ideas?

If there isn't lots of rain, Sevin Dust should work. I also have some spray that I can't remember the name of right now. I have two kinds actually. One you hook a hose to the jug and don't have to worry about mixing, and the other you put in a sprayer, mixed with water. I haven't had to use dust or spray yet this season, but with the rain, the bugs will be right behind it.

Very nice looking veggies.

Looking good Kev. Margie ask for greens, and I got as far as buying seeds. But they never got planted. I am harvesting squash, green beans and sugar snaps though.

These pictures were from yesterday. Jalapeno peppers. Bell peppers. Yellow squash, acorn squash and cucumber.

Today and tomorrow the signs are in the breast, making it the best two planting days this month. But I'm going canoeing on the Chipola River tomorrow, which meant I tried to cram two days' work in one day. I did transplant a row of tomatoes, five Roma and five Rutgers. Did a row {17} of Jalapeno. Planted banana cantaloupe and the big long melon seeds in the skips. Planted a few dozen peach pits in a few big pots. And Chris, the cousin I'm going down the river with, came by in his Kabota UTV just in time to help me dig up a Tangerine that had outgrown it's pot, move it with his UTV, then lower it down into the hole two or three times before I got it the right depth and width. It was in a 20 gallon pot, and very sticky, so I was glad to have the help.

During the heat of the day I worked on putting tomato and pepper sprouts into cups. Then got back out and side dressed the green beans, rewatered all the new plants and some of the others, and worked on getting the waterline trenches filled in. Dark caught me before I finished, but I did get a pretty long stretch covered.
