Hey there,
How are your gardens doing? What’s gone well this year, and where are you having problems?
Things are looking good for me so far. Like every year, I had some trouble with black bean aphids on my fava beans, but that seems to have resolved itself (even though the affected plants aren’t yielding much).
I’m happy with my onions and potatoes… does anyone know why some of my onion sets are deciding to go to seed?
Wishing you all a great week!



Same. I had good early crop of beans and squash but the heat has pretty much stunted/kill everything else.
Funny you mentioned squash because I planted a few plants and managed to get a few fruit this year.
Every other year, the vine borers obliterate them before they really get going. My neighbors’ reaction when I mentioned I was going to try some squash again this year was a combination of “why” and “good luck with that”.
Luckily I haven’t dealt with vine borers. Fingers crossed they don’t find my plot. I do usually get hit with hundreds of leaf footed bugs. Suck my tomatoes dry if I don’t keep up with them
