Hi all - I'm new to gardening. It was a request from my wife during quarantine to build 2 raised beds and get some things going. This has become a lot more work than hydrangeas, hollies and other plants in my garden thats for sure! The herbs have been big wins and I'm excited for my fruiting plants. Overall, I've previously identified aphids and other bugs on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and some herbs. I've been using a neem oil/soap spray combo that seems to have worked. I haven't spotted any new bugs. Herbs and leafy greens are doing great. Cantaloupe too. Peppers aren't fruiting but are flowering. They seem to struggle in heat from what I'm reading. But the tomatoes may be struggling right now - a whole plant is starting to turn yellow. I don't know if it was too little too late on bug treatment or the amount of rain we've had in central VA has been too much. I have some more pictures to show. Anyone willing to help? Just need overall advice and someone to slap me and tell me to relax. My mother in law always has lush gardens with fruit and does nothing but pick off dead leaves and here i am stressing about a garden that should relieve stress! Thank you!
Varietals:
slicing cucumber - fruiting tons of flowers
