    Simp3204 2020 Garden #2

    Plants are looking a-ok today after some nice watering! Lmao, a 26ft U-haul grow room! I have a massive shed now, gotta clean it up some and I’ll post pics. It has a 2nd floor that will be my new grow room in our mild “winter”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Simp3204 2020 Garden #2

    Just moved into my first house and moving my plants was “fun”. It was a warm week and my plants were not happy about the light watering I did Friday night before they were moved yesterday/Saturday. Some very dramatic wilting in the tomatoes, the peppers held up much better. About half of the...

    I’m interested in how those dwarf tomatoes turn out and how they taste. It looks like the Aphid War of 2020 has subsided at the moment, but I have a a feeling they are regrouping to attack my garden in July and August. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ll have to take some pics of the really damaged plants for you. It seems like mostly just chew on my peppers and tomatoes and then leave. My lettuce is another story, they straight murder it and have done a number to my corn. Mr. Joe asked about checking my traps for any beneficial insects...

    It seems about a third are starting to put it on, they are also the ones that took less damage. Earwigs can go away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ve only ever seen earwigs and garden roaches in them. I can’t even recall seeing a spider in any of them. I have one from last years garden that I just left and didn’t think much of it. It has so many dead earwigs in it I had to top it off with vegetable oil today. When I did I discovered...

    It seems a few centipedes have moved in to the garden, none as big as the one above. The earwig damage has dropped quite a bit and most the peppers are doing ok, some haven’t recovered from the earwigs and might not. Luckily, most of the sicker plants have an extra that is doing ok. Tomato...

    I was out in my garden putting extra diatomaceous earth around my plants and I moved my Chocolate Ghost that is in a 5 gallon bucket and found this garden defender underneath. It was next to at least 50 earwig corpses. It appears to be a common desert centipede. I estimate it was at least...

    Totally forgot to post this from earlier, the succulent lizard. I’m hoping the lizards and salamanders I’ve been seeing step their bug eating game up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Canola oil mixed with a little liquid fish fertilizer in most of them and the one has that plus some bacon fat from my breakfast yesterday morning. Joe I’ve thought about the mantis eggs! I’ve been talking sweet nothings to the black widows around my place hoping they go after the earwigs...

    I took these last night after about 2.5 hours of having the traps out. The two I put into one of my planters killed a few dozen earwigs. 3 of the traps were a let down, somehow no kills in them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ll send some positive energy to the little guys! I’m a first time home buyer so this is all new to me and it’s a ride so far. I put out 6 more diy earwig traps around my garden. They worked great last year, so I’m hoping they do the same this year. I can take update photos if anyone wants...

    I just went into escrow on a house and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to take care of the little guy/girl (triggered). I really appreciate the offer though! On a side note, if this house goes through I’ll have about a half acre to garden on and get some chickens! *happy dance* Sent...

    The Red Fatali growdown? If so, I haven’t. I didn’t see it until mid or late March and haven’t decided to join or not. I’m really thinking about it and it would be fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
