Bugs, Garden Blues and minor successes!
Well the garden is growing nicely but I can't seem to get rid of the bugs. I have tried to be as organic as possible with the soap spray and the organic Ortho spray but it looks like I may have to do something drastic like go to the regular bug spray for gardens. I want to be organic I truly do but it's just not working. To top things off I was sooo excited about my banana pepper that was about 6 inches long and after inspection I found that there were two holes bored into the top of it and it had been eaten. I was so mad. I know am checking all my bell peppers, cayenne , jalapenos and tomatoes for holes. I think my Swiss chard may be gone for the year. I had these tiny green worms that ate it up and I tried to get rid of them but I think it may be too late. On a positive note we have actually picked enough squash to put a bag in the freezer. I have baby okra growing too. My eggplant is growing like crazy and is blooming so hopefully I will have eggplants with a few weeks.
