The buckets are eggplant cuz a fungus kept hitting my one that was in the ground. I got some good pics tho now I'll post. The rain and organic fertilizer I been using the last two weeks has helped me past that fungal bs. That and an early application of neem oil and copper treatment . It took me a min to get going with a busy semester end and in my haste to catch the season, I planted when it was a little too wet. We past it now tho I feel.
Is alot of pics but that's what's happening with my pandemic garden

Half of my cukes is for pickling that is wsup
I know neem is for bugs the fungal and bugs was doing a double whammy. But their resistance built because of the nutrient application I feel and they are bouncing back. That fungus wrecked my tomatoes and now they seem like they may do something. The water cause more I know but it helped em grow past it

My Nemesis the horn worm... Otherwise things are pretty smoothe. I wanna share my garden but not making a post about it so this is perfect lol.

I'm proud of it so far this year. Even some tomatoes I usually mess that up bad.

Hope you are all safe and well. Share plants with meeee!!

Your garden is looking really good makinbones!

 

Hornworms are the bane of all tomato growers. I can't estimate how many hours I have spent in years past, plucking, first thing in the morning when they are up toward the top of the plants.

 

Because I have it for budworm prevention on the cannabis part of my garden, I decided to try out the Thuricide BT on the hornworms as well. So far, I have not had any more of them after the first infestation tried to start about a month ago. I won't use insecticides on the plants I eat and this is not a poison. If the little caterpillars eat a leaf that was sprayed, they can't digest anymore and die.

I have been searching for something to try that's organic. I will def be trying that thuricide or whatever. Thanks a bunch that's helpful.
