Trellis is the way to go. Mine are like 2' x 6' that I stake next to each other. When they first start taking off with growth I'll weave them into some of the squares and then they will climb up on their own.

Looking good Derek. The cherry tomatoes are popping, the vine ripe ones are the sweetest. Every time I walk by them I find more. A few baby beefsteak, odd shapes. That’s a nice haul! I’ve been picking tomatoes the past week or so. Trying to stay ahead of the mockingbirds. Serrano, jalapeno and bells are producing good. Growing Jedi jalapeno this year for the first time. Been impressed so far with it with the size flavor and more heat than most large jalapeños.

Gotcha, i did that with one recently, these others are already so long I’m scared I’ll damage them. There’s nothing big on them yet, would that be worth a try? I have 4x4 cages around them, just for some reason 80% of it stays low to the ground.

Keep an eye on your pepper plants too. Hornworms will hammer down on those as well. Just found one of those bastages on my pepper bush. Did a quick extermination.

I have lots of ants on my okra, mainly the flowers, not so much the actual fruit. Is that normal? I've never had okra until this year.

I had that same problem last year- ended up wrapping a strip of cloth around the trunk of each plant a few inches above the ground, then spraying the rag with Permethrin. Worked perfect - doesn't hurt other insects, and only have to respray the permethrin after a hard rain, etc. Also, make sure none of the old leaves are touching the ground, otherwise they'll take that shortcut.

Mice or rats are eating my tomatoes even the green ones. I saw them running away one night when I hit the back porch light. What can I do?

Supposedly they do not like peppermint. You might soak some cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them around your plant and see if the deters them.

Late night, NV or thermals on a suppressed rifle of your choosing sounds like the most entertaining method

Not sure if you guys care but I found two mounds of ants near my okra bed that I handled with granules. There were many ants going up/down stalks and covering my pods. I sprayed an incecticide soap from HD on there and the ants died almost instantly. Flowers were bloomed this morning so I'm hoping as advertised the soap has minimal to no effect on the okra plants.

My garden is done for the year. Perfect timing. A dry spell is on the way and the thunder rolled.
