How's your garden doing?

Post by micci_man »

Here is mine. There is a brown/orange stink bug looking thing eating the leaves on the taters and causing them to wilt/die. They laugh at sevins so I need to try something else. Recommendations are welcome. You can't see everything but I have taters, 3 kinds of peas, bush beans, cn squash, cucumber, 4 kinds of matters, 3 kinds of onions (started in the fall) bell, marconi and jalapeno peppers. Getting ready to plant okra and sweet corn after I till the dirt this weekend.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, WE BEEN EATING SQUASH FOR A WEEK NOW AND HAVE A BUMPER CROP. GETTIN BACK TO THE QUESTION, I HAVE BEEN USING 50% LIQUID MALATHION, 2 TBL SPOONS FULL TO 1 GAL. OF WATER WITH 1 TBL. SPOONFULL OF LIQUID DETERGENT, EVERY OTHER SPRAYING I ENCLUDE 2 TBL SPOONS FULL OF DACANIL TO CONTROL FUNGUS. YA CAN GET THE MALATHION AND DACANIL AT MOST ANY GARDEN STORE OR I GET MY INSECTICIDE-FUNGICIDE FROM LOWES HARDWARE STORE. I THINK THE LAST I BOUGHT WAS ABOUT $7 FOR PINT.

You can also use Brovo(clorithinil) as a fungicide, although I sell it in large qunitities you can get in pints at most farm and garden shops, any of the copper fungicides will work, if you can find it in your area ,try dipel as a BT insecticide completely safe to humans. If you do don't worry when you see the worms not die right a way. they stop eating as soon as they ingest the material. If there is any help that I can be, let me know. the advise was great also. jimsmith ,Certified Crop Advisor #19762 Growers fertilizer ,Newberry Fl.
