What time of year are y’all planting onions? I know they take time. I do later Nov to mid December depending on Dixondale's shipping schedule. A few of us here go in together and make a single order to split and get the price down. I pulled my onions and garlic yesterday.

These "Golden Zucchini" are doing really well and are pretty cool looking. I'm not sure why but all of my squash plants leaves are turning yellow. They are still producing but not looking near as good as the Zucchini which are deep green.

What's odd is in both area's I have squash and zucchini planted side by side I have the same thing happening. Deep green zucchini and squash turning yellow. I don't know why it would affect one and not the other.

Will neem oil work on cabbage?? Neem oil would help. Can mix in with cayenne pepper water too: Cayenne Pepper Powder Mix 2 to 3 tbsp. of cayenne pepper powder into half a gallon of water and bring it to a boil. Allow the cayenne pepper to steep in the water for 30 to 45 minutes. One-half cup of chopped, dried cayenne pepper can be used in place of the powder. Allow the chopped peppers to steep for 30 to 45 minutes as well. Apply it after the solution cools. Add Eucalyptus Oil (or neem oil) Add 8 to 10 drops of essential oil of eucalyptus oil into the cayenne water and mix well. Fill a spray bottle with the cayenne pepper and eucalyptus oil mixture and mist it on both the top and bottom of the leaves most at risk from cabbage worms.

Be careful using the "oils". They are oils and have temperature restrictions. You can actually do more harm than good using them in heat/summer, and or too much AI mixed per label recs. With Sunflowers if you are growing them for color and not seed use a commercial pesticide like Demand CS at low rates, or nothing at all. The holes won't hurt anything and the plant will be fine. Spray everything but the flowers if you do. Food stuff like cabbage go with BT or Spinosad.

Bermuda grass has infiltrated my garden in a heavy way. Is there anything I can spread that won’t kill my tomatoes or pepper plants?

Bermuda grass has infiltrated my garden in a heavy way. Is there anything I can spread that won’t kill my tomatoes or pepper plants? I've used roundup/glyphosate mixed up 50% stronger, applied with sponge mop (never sprayer) for situation like this before. just be super careful not to slop any on keeper plants, and I've used cardboard to isolate where grass is right up against plants.

I'm not sure what it is, but it is not a tick. Ticks are arachnids, have eight legs and no antennae. Looks a lot like a tick though.

Dang. Thats not good. I always see a ton of leaf footed bugs when the figs and tomatoes turn. I guess I'll be fighting these off too.

I was picking tomatoes today and noticed those big grey stink bugs on one of my plants. What works for those?

Maters are starting to come in nicely: even a jumbo yellow mater: this was just half of that jumbo yellow - delicious! the cured red-onions we havn't eaten yet - they've been going fast... sandplums fruiting like crazy this year... Main garden doing nicely: Heavenly Father had other plans for my spring corn patch this year - I'll yield to Him

Very nice! My corn and one squash plant is about the only thing doing decent. Tomatoes, peppers, and onions are none existent.
I don't think my garden spot is getting enough sunlight. until about 11am the house blocks the sun and after about 4pm our trees block the sun. So only getting about 5ish hours of sunlight a day. I water every day, just not seeing any growth.
Thinking this weekend going to HD or Lowes and getting some plants that are ready to go and transplant them.
