Howdy Folks!
Thanks for the well wishes—it has been a lousy couple of weeks health wise...but I’m on the mend.
I’m no longer in aphid hell. Mainly because they’ve already killed/maimed most of my stuff! I guess it’s more like “aphid heck”
Thus far, 2 cuke plants, both Bidwell Casaba melon plants, 1 Ginger’s Pride melon & the Ali Baba watermelon have all taken out by aphids &/or their cooties! (& the squash aren’t looking too good)
Amazingly, the tomatoes are fine (knock wood)!
I was randomly chatting with a woman in Target about gardening & she too has had ridiculously large amounts of aphids (& tomato horn worms...eeeew!)
Guess it’s just a bad year for bugs...I’m just HOPING that if I plant fall pole beans, etc. that they don’t get zapped too...
