Hi all, i posted a thread a long time ago from when i had my seeds in a jiffy greenhouse. My garden is thriving and getting huge. Some plants are starting to flower. Im realizing i dont have much room in my raised garden bed. Everything was going great until the mushrooms and weird egg like spores started showing up on the soil near plants. Im hoping the sun will come out and dry it all out soon. But yesterday i noticed cucumber beetles... Great! Now the battle is on. I took about 5 off my plants last night and squashed them. I looked this morning and saw one on my pumpkin plant. Im disappointed because i wanted to go organic. Looks like Im gonna be using a pesticide. I also have slugs chopping huge holes in my leaves. But they should be gone once the garden dries up i hope!
