Word of advice for people with generators.
Do a weekly generator test and run. This will almost assure you that you have a backup generator when you need it. It also keeps the fuel rotated out if is runs on gasoline but if you can afford it buy a diesel they are much better for fuel storage and how long the fuel will last. Worth |

Barb, I get both and really badly. I think just spray the plants you want to bring down thoroughly with soapy water, then just bring them. We have plenty of whiteflies here too., especially in the last 2 weeks. I looked for the source and found many plants in my yard that host them. The cucumber, and Canna Lilies, and also some kind of weed. All got a thorough drenching soapy water bath, really strong on those concentrated egg areas under the leafs. I pulled the weed.
That cucumber was a crazy aphid magnet, plus whiteflies and pickle worms. Barb, please what do you mean by sponsors? I am the only one throwing this, but the folks who work at the city of Miramar, and the Miramar Community Garden are a huge help. |

Well, at least most, got the 4 new ones to still do. If you all notice, there is a tomato cage around each plant, then the main EB outer cage around the box perimeter. That's a volunteer cinnamon basil in the left foreground. Hard to kill that.

Can't wait to see it grow--hope you have a great harvest! Darlene |

Marsha,
I'm curious as to how tall is the fence you are using for cages? They seem to be simply wrapped around each container. Do you not have to stake them in some fashion as well? Larry |

Marsha you sure have been busy. It is hard to believe you got all your own planting done while getting ready for your big event Saturday.

Barb,
How are your pepper plants doing? I have watered mine sparingly and they are still doing what they do every fall. I think it is too wet here.... they get pepper plant leaf diseases. Ginny Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |

Marsha, wow. That is impressive. So much work in such a short period of time. Your back must be in pain. Nice job, girl.

Any ideas on what is wrong with my Datil Pepper plant?
It looked like this over the summer (my neighbors took care of it). Its in a 7 gallon swc. ![]() Now it looks like below (started getting bad before the hurricane). Stems are drying up and dying. Leaves are light green and dropping. I gave it some 10-10-10 before the storm but it didnt seem to help any. ![]() ![]() Ginny Last edited by Fiishergurl; October 14, 2016 at 11:13 AM. |
