- First there was a drought, then followed by daily flooding rains. It has been a tough year for gardening here in N. GA, but the garden has been a good success. Now it's August and some things are doing great, but some things are a failure. Let's walk the garden and check it out.
Hi nice update, I think I will try to plant some of those pear tomatoes. Last week I found my first ever tomato hornworm on my tomato plant, and I am a little paranoid that I haven’t found any more. I’ve been using a black light at night and there don’t seem to be any more and no more new damage I don’t know 😂. I’m suspicious that there was only one.
That is interesting. I have only found one also this year, and usually if I find one, I find several more. If you grow peppers, watch them also, as the hornworms will also munch your peppers.
Most of my cukes got that scabby, eaten up look to the leaves. They were nice in June and early July, but never a lot of cukes to pick. Once they got sickly, the cukes are small, thin, stunted. So hot today, two of the later planted cukes looked "melted" in the sun. And I had watered them both this morning. I did pick off spotted bugs whenever I saw them.
I'm almost having the same results. I should have sprayed my new plants with Triazide for the first 2 weeks after I transplanted them. Now I only have 1 out of 4 zucchini plants, 3 of 7 cucumbers and only 2 of 7 squash plants. Just too many bugs this year. Oh well, such is the life of a gardener. Only 2 weeks until I start some fall garden plants though...
@@TheBackGardenYard Yes, last year I had cokes and tomatoes galore, healthy plants, and I thought, well, I have finally got the soil where it needs to be! Easy peasy from now on. Last year I picked my last tomato the day before Thanksgiving. This year, I'm letting it all go. I have butterflies and bees on my zinnias, though.
@@TheBackGardenYard Oh, you might know. Always before I had little black flies fertilizing my cucumbers, I did not see any this year. Do you know the name of that fly? Google gives me "white flies". !!!
Yellow Pear tomatoes used to be my favorite. They couldn’t handle the excessive amount of rain we have where I live now. But I’m growing Chocolate Pear tomatoes. They seem to handle it a little better. Not great but handling it.
Yea, the excessive rain we have had has destroyed my cherry tomatoes, but the yellow pear tomatoes are holding up much better. I've never grown the Chocolate Pear tomatoes, but they sound interesting.
@@TheBackGardenYard I got them from Seeds N Such’s website.
It's all beautiful Farmer Bob. Are you growing for the kimchi again this year? That was a great episode.
Yes, I have to wait awhile to plant the NAPA Cabbage because the bugs will destroy it if I plant it now.
Pear tomatoes, plant once and eat on for YEARS as they come back so easy from fallen fruit.
Nice, just like the cherry tomatoes! I'll likely dry a few pear tomatoes in the sun and save the seeds just to make sure. Thanks
What is the name of the 5’ tall Asian sweet pepper? Walmart purchase?
The package I have is in Korean - I googled it and this popped up - could be very similar.. www.harrisseeds.com/products/11096-pepper-cayennetta-f1?variant=35441507696712
