It's pretty straight forward. It will be 70% neem active ingredient. Personally I've had better luck with Horticultural oil for scale. At the end of the day we're working with "oils" so you gotta be careful. Temp restriction of 85 degrees. So you don't want to go out at 2pm and willy nilly spray everything down or you're going to burn it up. Go out at dusk and once it's cooled down a bit and spray it and the temps will stay cooler overnight. Don't go over label recommendations, as more is not better. I'd probably cut the label rate in half with the heat coming next week.

What kind of pepper is this? Got four jalapeno starter plants at Home Depot. The other three are proper. This one is something else.

No one knows...

A few harvest photos

early/first sweet bananna is my guess

The little raised bed is growing wild this year, it’s turning into a jungle but producing groceries so I’m letting it roll.

Thanks. Seems a little darker in color than a banana pepper.

Looks like a "long bell pepper" and I found out yesterday it tastes like a bell pepper too. No other flowers on that plant.

Maters are coming in good. My son keeps eating all the cherry tomatoes that are ripe right off the vine so haven’t gotten any yet lol, but there are a ton of green ones so I’m sure they’ll ripen all at the same time and he won’t be able to eat them all. Same with my black Berry bushes. Probably won’t get anything off them until this fall though.

I’m getting closer to harvesting some tomatoes. They look much more healthy than last year

Y'alls gardens are looking great.

That looks like a CARMEN , a sweet red pepper (red when ripened on the plant). Not hot.
I get a couple every year - good with fajitas, like a bell pepper.

Word is a seed supplier (to nurseries) got pepper seeds all mixed up this year.
Two of my supposed 'jalapeno' starters turned out to be yellow banana peppers (and they're yellow even when small/unripe) but making some nice peppers.

Some of the leaves on my tomato plants are turning yellow and 2 squash plants have all but died. Container garden. Tomatoes are making, Squash really isn't. Peppers are doing great though.

Here is where I am at with my little single row garden. This year I went with three kinds of small watermelons and a Hügelkultur style mound. You will have to google that to find out what it is. I added some yard long beans just because I had a lot of the seeds from last years plants. For pest control I added some Python Snake beans as an experiment. The plants give off a strong peanut butter like scent that only gets stronger if the plant is disturbed and no insect will get near it except some kind of moth that pollinates it at night. It seems to be working so far. The plan this year was to plant the seeds and do nothing but water them as needed. I don't fertilize it or pull weeds, and no mulching. Watering is via a soaker hose left in place and timer. On the other side of the trellis fence outside of the garden row are some volunteer tomatoes came up that I am treating the same and just mow around them. They look like they are going to be a hybrid between some orange tomatoes from Ukraine and yellow pear tomatoes that I had in the garden last year. I had thought a hail storm wiped them out at one point, but the plants recovered from the damage rather fast. Not bad for a mostly hands off garden row.

For a hands off garden you’re doing great!!

Yea I’d say that’s pretty good for hands off lol. Hell looks better than my hands on garden

Here is what the volunteer tomatoes look like. Lots of unripe ones all through it. Has to be a cross between last year's plants.

I am real surprised how well it is doing. The wife and I spend several days a month at a Lakehouse on Fork. Everytime I come home I expect to see the garden destroyed by something, but instead it has always grown more like a bunch of weeds. Picking up a new Vizsla pup in less than two months. That may be this garden's end. Young Vizslas are like little Velociraptors.

My most beaten tomato starter has the most fruit on it. It's the way it is sometimes.

Mine about the same, but have gotten a little squash. It's been too dang cloudy last several weeks, and when the sun does come out it just burns!
Tomatoes doing lousy this year so far, but have gotten some fruit from them so far - plants just don't look anything like they have in past years.

My harvest for today

Cucumbers are out of control. Tomatoes doing well.

Well the plants are starting to look a little rough but the amount and quality of tomatoes we have picked the last 3 weeks has been amazing!

What is this? Squirrel nibbling or is it something worse like bugs or fungus? A couple of my tomatoes I picked today looked the same where some didn’t.

We had several like that and ours ended up being caused by Mockingbirds,
