My garden is growing and yes its the time again when those nasty tomatoe bugs are back and yes I have been using what I was told. I have tomatoes but the fastest they grow they fastest the bugs come. I have two zucchini's so far and the lettuce is doing ok. Picked some green beans - lot of learning from last year and more this year. One day I will get it all right. LOL

Time to move them out of the greenhouse. Its getting too hot fot the blooms to set fruit in here.

Yup thats what I got too. I am so upset over it finally getting some tomatoes and than this. Yes I am sprayig with what you told me.

[ROOT]

I have only had worms and have been able to keep up with just hand picking them off and avoiding spraying so far. But i will be starting to as soon as I see the moths that are bad show up in my traps.

I caught most of them when they were just a half inch long and contained to one leaf . You got to look your plants over on a regular basis first thing every morning with coffee is a good habit to get into. I really stress about having to wait a week to check on these because they are in Jax and im the only one who knows what to do.

I cracked the main
Trunk on the one that is to the far right today while moving the support and i nearly cried because it has 10 pounds of tomatoes on it already.
But i can't let them get over the rafters . Even with a big exhaust fan on all the time it is getting to hot up there fir the blooms to set. Has to be under 78 at at night and not over 90 in the daytime. So I put it in a splint and added a poultice of perlite in some gauze with a drip line to the trunk above so the advantageous roots can develop and hopefully aid the half of cambium that survived intact to not set it back to bad . The first six got moved to the outside system.
I have to say this dutch bucket system is really working great. And I am glad that I designed the infrastructure as I did.

I hate my green house!!!!!!! Makes a great storage shed for anything that can tolerate temps over 400 degrees F LOL!!!!!! I walked inside it once when the outside temp was about 100 and I suddenly looks like a sponge pissing water!!!!!!! Sweat was coming out of pores in my face and stuff I never knew existed!!!!!!!!

Can you support the trunk with plastic plant strips and wrap around a couple of bamboo sticks or thin dowels or such, to support the trunk? That is the water and mineral transport tunnel man.... Ya gotta keep the flow!!!!!!!! LOL

I used #550 Nylon Paracord and PVC drain tape Will know tomorrow if she is in stress. I these girls sucker shoots put out a wad of roots in just a few days and one from just two weeks ago already has grown to 2 foot and has two maters the size of my thumb on them. I might set up some kind of mist if she is wilty tomorrow.

That is a cute beetle that looks so damn fake!!!!! Remember that bug making kit when we was kids called Creepy Crawlers. We could make worm, bugs, etc. and EAT THEM!!!!!! Or maybe we couldn't eat then but we did anyway...... That beetle looks good enough to eat!!!!!!!
