This is what I use for almost everything. I will also just mix in some of the copper fungicide in the same sprayer if I'm having fungus problems at the same time.

Thanks I'll take your word for it.

You can thank the university of Illinois for the Japanese Beatles!

I was thinking the wrong Asian bug. I was thinking of the Asian ladybugs.

75% of we've sowed has failed due to the weather... We've re-sowed a bunch of stuff hoping this hot weather we're supposed to get will help. Looking back at pictures of this time last year sucks in comaprisson to now...

Cold or rain?

Cold or rain?

Both. It won't stop raining, which would be fine if we had average temps, but it's been colder than usual. We're finally getting normal temps this week.

On the other hand, I've never seen the landscape this green. Driving down grid roads with 2-3 feet of grass on each side feels like driving down a tunnel. Slough that have been dry for the past 10 years are filling up, definitely happy about that. Losing 15 bucks worth of seeds is a small price to pay I guess!

Sounds like a good summer for duck production on the prairie.

Yes I have been seeing some good broods

Like Sask our cucumber and most of our beans and peas don’t come up or got flooded out. Potatoes and carrots seem to be doing well. Replanted peas, beans and cucumbers a couple weeks ago. Cucumbers in particular seem to be doing good off the replant so far

PSA-do not assemble the Beatles trap bags in your yard where Beatles are present. The movie "birds" had nothing on that new experience for me.

I think the top ones would have been less aggressive. That was really something there. Didn't even think about your catch on the spelling.

It was kind of a big revelation for me years ago when I discovered the band was spelled differently than the bug.

Sweet relief. First measurable rain in at least 45 days, probably more.

Cherry tomatoes this morning

The first BLT of the season with tomato and lettuce from the garden is something I look forward to all season. It didn't disappoint.
Finished lunch off with some peaches from our trees in milk.

Should have some potatoes to go with my moose roast and steaks this fall lol

This hot weather really turned things on

We're a lot slower to get the garden going in Wyoming but I am sure enjoying it! This is my front yard potager garden, we have tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, beans, peas, three kinds of mint, rhubarb, basil, thyme, oregano, chives, onions, garlic, spinach, lettuce, carrots, kale, parsley, rosemary, all mixed in together with roses and other companion flowers. I've been harvesting herbs to dry, and making strawberry jam, and any extra leafy greens get preserved for winter before they go to seed in this heat. My amazing husband let me turn the lawn completely into garden and built me a lovely white picket fence for the climbing roses and tomatoes.
