It's been very dry and hot 100+ weather every day. I have been working a lot finally quit all my jobs for 1 steady job and normal hours. I was inspecting plants, I went and bought neem oil, mixed with 2-3 drops of soap in a sprayer, sprayed all plants well. Will do so in the shade every few days. I sprayed a watermelon still growing but it had a catepillar a tiny one fall off of it too. Little bastards. I've never seen a catepillar here in my life then I plant a raised bed and tada baby ones appear.
Few things I am going to do, one is put cedar mulch on top of garden bed and remove any horrid plants that won't make it, then look into making a purchase of beneficial bugs later on to help combat the problem.
