2026 Garden

7 inches of rain over the weekend brought a good chunk of the state back to decent water levels. I've taken on a new career path so the garden has been a little neglected this past few weeks. Still getting plenty of tomatoes and peppers. Second planting of squash already attacked by vine borers. The biggest of the plants may put off a few squash before it gives up. Next year I'm planting tromboncino squash which is supposed to be SVB resistant. Any normal squash I plant is going to get a side-by-side test of Sevin dust and maybe frequent BT applications. I used to dust liberally with Sevin but stopped out of pollinator concerns but I never had this problem before I switched my pesticide regimen. Im hopeful liberal BT applications will work because its bee-friendly.20260728_072302.jpg
 
Lettuce, bok choy, and snow peas have come and gone. Parsnips, carrots, cucumbers, pinto beans, tomatoes, chard, peppers, and sweet corn doing good. Zucchini is out of control. I may have to dig some plants up, when the wife is not looking, and blame it on the deer!
