I know Ginny,
I couldn't believe it when she told me. I've known about them for years thanks to the original DG. Buy Neem and hope it's years before they come south. I bookmarked this one myself.

Oh great, the imidacloprid I use for the iris borer is poison to honey bees. I didn't know that.

Jeanne,
THAT is a lot of work!! But, the raked areas look so nice! That's awesome to not have sore arms!

Gene,
Thank you! Yes, Spice Jungle, not Spice World.
I had two pepper grinders and my old one works well for it. I will be getting some.

Mac,
It's always hard to tell which brassica the leaves belong to.
I direct sow the kale and I think I ordered Swiss chard this year too. I gave up on the Brussels and just do broccoli.
My Dad will grow the melons. They grew up growing and selling them. They would strap as many as possible to their old car and take them to Iowa City to sell. All were bought.
Your seedlings are so healthy!
I have newer cooler lights, but my broccoli and cabbage still get leaf burn.

Cindy,
It will be nice to have new bulbs. I use shop lights. They now have smaller cooler bulbs. I just watch my lumens.

Susan,
Is the PO a long walk? How nice you are able to tho.

Jim,
A fine can to use for a fine blend, lol!
A small town has no secrets except itself
