Brinda... u definitely have to be on the look out for caterpillars. i noticed the super hot weather started early last week on my area. last Friday, i saw some teenee weenee bit of cats on 2 different brugs. i pulled them out, and squeesh them. also watch out for cucumber beetles. i pick them out of the plant with tweezors. gives me the icky feeling. can't handle them with my hands.

i guess i will have to begin alternate foliar spraying of H2O2/alcohol with soap concoction from here on in. both the caterpillars and cucumber beetles can eat off all the leaves of ur plants. so be on the lookout!

we do not have any rain here. if there are some in neighboring towns, they are blocked off by the surrounding mountain.

today, the thermometer registers 100ºF but felt like it was 110ºF. this year the weather here has been so weird. i do not know what else to say.
