SUMMER GARDENS

Steph, yours DO look great. The squash and the whole plot for that matter. I think CG's comment may have been directed at me. I never thought they could be overcrowded, but I bet they're right..

Sooo, since the squash are planted a foot apart, think I could pull every other plant to allow the 2 foot spacing between? Or would pulling some affect the roots of the plants I intend to leave in-ground also? Sorry, I know I'm always asking so many questions! I learn best by screwing things up and troubleshooting LOL

Oh...gotcha! You could thin out some to give them enough breathing and growing space. I never could make the square foot garden work for me.

If you snip rather than pull, less chance of disturbing the roots of neighboring plants. ..go for it!

I found a few Leaffotted bugs babies on the tomatoes.
They are so gross ... They suck out the juice from the tomato and they make it very bad taste.
I squish squish

Looks like we've got some yellow squash brewing. I'm not a fan of squash, but hubby likes it, so he planted it.

I also found the first gray striped zucchini today. I hand pollinated it just in case it didn't get pollinated.

Found my first ripening tomato!! Woohoo! I'm pretty sure this is a Homestead.

Something's amiss with the newest growth on my beans. They've developed these raised areas on the leaves. I found no bugs after a thorough investigation. We have had some weird weather. It was in the mid to upper 90s last week with high humidity, then we had heavy rains and now we're having a cool day with a light breeze. It's just on new growth at the top of the trellis. As you can see by the final pic, the bottom leaves are just fine. Any ideas what's causing this?

I've never seen leaves like that on beans I hope somebody knows what it is. My beans aren't blooming, the plants are beautiful but no flowers. Guess Imgoing to have to put some phosphorous on them. I haven't fertilized them at all and i planted them in the same soil that everything else got planted in.

See page 19, COMMON MOSAIC, for the seersuckered, puckered leaves...

Hope this helps!
