Leaf miners destroyed my plants what I do for my next batch 😢😢
Hey Larry thank you for commenting. Leaf Miner is a tricky one to get rid of it you have to use a garden pesticides.. you can also check the back of your plants for early detection remove that leaf and just check on them as often as possible. They like to hide on the backside of the leaf. I truly hope this help
Great looking plants!!
Thank you missy we're stopping in
Everything looks good sista , and I can't wait to see the results. Great Looking Crop
Thank you so much. Hope all os well with you.
Lord beautiful, my sunflowers are not doing well😢
Oh noo did you put them in the most sunny part pf your garden
Hey Neighbor! My sugar babies are very small the leaves didn't get as big as they normally do. I was supposed to remove all of the old soil in the garden and put in new better soil. I only amended it adding manure (black kow)and vegetable tone my bad. Also I mostly hand pollinated because I'm not seeing many bees. I now have to find a person willing to take out old soil and put in new at the end of this growing season. As always your melon patch looks good
Hey Yolanda so good to hear from you. I've been hearing some things about Black Cow compost that's not good. If you can find you a person who makes compost locally it will probably be better for you. You shouldn't have to change your soil unless it's contaminated with something.
You have to plant things that attract bees , I have so much bees I got stung last year
Yes indeed and bees are not your only pollinators
@@BACKYARDGARDENER Thank you for that information Whew.... I didn't want to change out because i figured it would be expensive. I heard about Black cow after the fact and it had lots of rocks in it, I will check locally for compost.
Sugar babies are slow going here in So Cal. Thanks for the inspiration. sorry to see all those mosquitoes 🦟 bothering you!
It's been a weird season in the garden here in the Michigan also and yes those mosquitoes was running me out of the garden😂

wow! nice garden, you don't even buy fruits/vegetable at the supermarket i assume. The 1st watermelon looks like it was picked to soon as it had white seeds ( a common indicator of being picked to early), the 2nd watermelon at the end was ripe and had full black seeds. nicely done.
Thank you sir

Hello Supreme how are you? So good to see you
Great advise! I am streamlining my garden and getting rid of all the fussy plants. I love my garden and will always have some sort of garden. Have a great weekend! thank you for sharing.
I hear you. if I got to babysit a plant or a tree it's got to go. Have a great weekend
You can put fresh grass clippings in your pots. A couple inches of clippings will keep the weeds down, keep the soul moist and keep soil fungus off your tomatoes leaves.
That is a wonderful tip thank you so much for sharing
