aren't those the coolest looking bugs?! I had one last year and yes it is a tortoise beetle.

  Same thing happened to me, my best plant lost all of its leaves but the top two, still hoping it will pull through. plus the drainage on the pot i put it in was nil...    babying them can only go so far, at some point you have to put them out and if they make it they make it...

yeah I think they are more of a light/lime green bug which looks to me like an aphid.   My kids got all excited the other day as they saw some lady bugs on my plants. I immediately flipped em over and saw aphids... however, before I could even spray some neem oil the lady bugs did their job!

loving those planters also, definitely gives me some ideas, and a project for a weekend :)

My father got one from Harbor Freight and it worked well last year. Not entirely sure if it was intended as a shade cloth for plants but it worked really well. Going to see if I can pick one up this year. Its only 70ish degrees here and my plants are already taking a beating. soon it will be 80...

I had planned to plant out more if not all the plants this weekend but starting Saturday Night we were going to get some crazy winds, rain, thunderstorms and a light freeze. Ended up reaching 50MPH wind gusts, and some freeze.   So early Saturday Morning I built a raised Garden Bed. Going to get...

60 and overcast is fine. You should start leaving them out at night if the temps are above 45 at night.

whoops was looking at Glogs when I decided to post this. please delete or move. Sorry everyone!

I have had my plants outside hardening off for the past week + but a couple, not all, have leaves like these two. I had put in some extra water as last year a few of my first plants dried up when I put them outside.   Also, gave them a shot of miracle grow (just a low dosage) last week, might be...

Agree with these two, if you can move them a few inches above the plants until you get your T5 set up that would work wonders.

Looking good! 

All moved in to the new house! Got my plants a nice spot in the kitchen but its time to put them outdoors! Well half of them anyway. The other half over the next week.      The front 3 containers have been outside since Friday (well during the day) and the others joined them for some sun today...

Not to shabby! Looking good

Nights have been in the 30s, but supposed to start going into the 40+ range. Daytime 70s. I just moved and started to harden off my plants this weekend. Probably plant out next weekend.   Albuquerque, NM

Last year I used 5 different bags and the walmart ones held up the best. But there is no way I could re-use them again for this season. this year my buddy owns a landscaping business and has been saving his large buckets, going to give those a shot.

Frame looks good, curious to see the final result.
