Texas Sage is pretty popular and should be easy to find. Maybe not 5 gal, but 3 gallon should be easy.

true dat.
Like Derek said could be ph (tap water alkaline) and often rain is slightly acidic - his citric acid tip is a good one.
Here are two more:
rainwater doesn't have any chlorine in it - let tap-water set in container a couple days before using for watering;
rainwater has a little bit of nitrogen in it and is foliar feeding - likely to boost over just root-only feeding - save some clean rainwater for future foliar misting.

I’d love to save some rain water, but it has to rain first.

What are the best chemicals to get rid of cucumber beetles?
The dang things have attacked my sweet corn.
Malathion didn't do much to them and the new watered down version of liquid 7 doesn't seem to last long or have the same control as the old stuff used to.
I have a fairly large garden (approx. 1 ac.) so I need something that's not cost prohibitive to apply in volume.

I use Thuricide. Some recommend Sevin dust.

Texas Sage is pretty popular and should be easy to find. Maybe not 5 gal, but 3 gallon should be easy.

Yeah, you would think but the local HD, Lowes, Walmarts etc., no go so was looking for any other garden centers. I wanted larger since they are replacing ones that died in an 8 foot hedgerow.

just started here too,
perfect timing, just put in another small block of sweet-corn seed - (staggering it this year, so we don't 'get it all at once')
also just put in 2 small 'experimental' patches of pepper seed - (from some seeds saved from last years ripe bell & jalapeno peppers)

Also found 2 volunteer tomato plants - 3" high already, and coming up in great spots where I can leave them - just need cages.

How are y’alls tomatoes doing? I got 4 I’m giving a go via hydro P just to see if I can do it. 2 Cherokee Purples, a beefsteak, and a big beef. (The purples we grew from seed, the other 2 I bought starts) So far so good. Probably have 15 or 20 little tomatoes with lots of blooms. Dad’s growing his in soil and we are gonna have a blind taste test to see if there is a difference if I can keep mine going food

Thanks oldoak and Bill... they seem to be liking it. The tub holds 15 gal of water and I mix in 18 grams of Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt), 36 grams of Calcium Nitrate, and 36 grams of Master Blend tomato & vegetable formula. I change the water about every 10 days. The plants are sitting in 100% perlite, so no soil at all. (All the nutrients they get come from the water) Got me a little pump in the tub that feeds each bucket from a line and then returns out the bottom of the buckets to the tub once it reaches a couple inches in the buckets. Been running the pump about an hour a day for the last 5 weeks.

Wish I had some more room to get a real garden going but I'm kinda tapped out on space with my little yard. Looking at the past few pages on this thread and the ones pictured are amazing!

I once made a really small vegetable garden with three landscape timbers. I cut one in half and ended with a 4 by 8 bed.

We had first batch of fried squash last night. Love them with a little sea salt and a drizzle of ranch.

The onion, garlic, and broccoli are doing great too.

Wrong forum. You have a truck garden, not a simple vegetable garden.

My watermelons are sprouting banana
Edit
I planted some seeds in some small pots to get them started, i had also planted some in mounds in my garden, but Pumpkin quickly took them over... i was looking closer at some of the pumpkin plant this morning, and noticed a plant about 5" tall right in the middle of all the pumpkin was 1 watermelon plant growing i had not seen. so i cleared some of the pumpkins out from around it.... so looks like i'll have 4 Watermelon plants coming up.
