What did you do in the garden today?

[Sylvester017]

Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria that kills cabbage worms, among other things. It's selective so it doesn't harm things like bees.

I still have about a pint of BT mix in the sprayer. I'm going to use it on the brassicas again this evening, not because they need it but it's good only for 12 hours or so after mixing it with water.

TY!!!

I took a a sprayer last year I did of salt and vinegar on lots of weeds that are invasive

Does this salt and vinegar solution really work out well?

I will be trying this for sure. I think are berries will fruit again later this month or next. So, GAME ON!

Works for fresh peach no-bake pies too ~ especially the sweeter-tasting White Peaches. Take pics if possible

Family got some really nice tomato plants today and I think a basil plant. Tomorrow hopefully will go to a different store and get some peppers maybe one more tomato (still need a cherry) but it depends what they have. If they don’t have anything we might just stick with what we have now.

Oh and hoping to get some fertilizer or garden soil or something too.

Watered the vegetables and the banana. I finally saw a female flower on one of the melon cucumbers, so I’m happy. I don’t know what’s wrong with my tomatoes, but many of them have like dry leaves? My father says it could be from the herbicides he used in the field during the winter. Also curly leaf disease… the melons and gourds look good, though they refuse to use the trellis.

Oh, also the small mango tree has a lot of fruit on it, so tomorrow I will tie up the branches. Last year the large mango tree had tons of fruit on one branch, and father said it’s gonna be fine, no need to tie it up, and the entire branch collapsed together with 90% of the mangoes, so NOT THIS YEAR. The large also mango has several fruits, it zigzags between years, a wild variety.
the olives are blooming, the macadamia is nutting, The Guayaba is infested…

My potted basils are still looking a bit iffy, so I sprayed them with Neem oil and gave them a bit of fertilizer.

Cleaned up the rest of the garden, asparagus beans came up, planted more of the beans. Had large quantity of volunteer tomato plants come up so I just had to weed out the weak ones. Plan on moving a few Greek oregano plants and planting them next to my fruit trees, quick search on the webs and i got the following: Planting Greek oregano around fruit trees can be beneficial for several reasons. Greek oregano is a hardy, drought-tolerant herb that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a suitable companion for fruit trees.6 It can act as a natural ground cover, helping to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.7 Additionally, the strong scent of oregano can help deter pests and deer, providing some protection for your fruit trees.; Here's to hope it will push back the deer and the aphids.

I bought a new Ryobi gas trimmer a couple years ago and the carbeurator started leaking. Found a new one for cheap online, replaced it and problem solved. Yeah, small engines can be a pain at times.

Yes, I did that also. I could get a new carb online or a rebuild kit for about $12. Easy choice I got the carb.
