Alternatively I have sowed some melon , okra and cukes in pots. They go in the cold frame at night. TWO days an nothing is up.

Thank you.
I was going to comment that I have never in my life seen so many stinking stink bugs.
They are frigging everywhere.
Maybe ten at my back door.
Everywhere I look I see stink bugs.
My grape vines had some sort of wee bug sucking on them plus caterpillars eating and I sprayed them with ammonia glass cleaner that kicked them down big time.
Then I washed the vines off with water then hit them with something I am not supposed to have.
I see no more bugs or worms as of today.
They were eating and sucking the tender growing tips.
Later I will mix up some of my secret kerosene and mineral oil/ISO 46 hydraulic fluid spray and test it on a plant or two.
It hasn't hurt any plant I have sprayed it on yet but killed every bug I have sprayed.
The other day some Korean or Japanese women one older and one young came walking by and complemented me on the place.
I dont mean to sound stereotypical but I take this as a very high complement.
These folks take gardens meaning yard also seriously.
They told me where they live and I hope I can give them some okra.
They love okra and told me so.
