Yesterday I harvested a full quart of these Golden Nugget tomatoes. Soon everyone will be enjoying the yummy flavour of these little yellow treats.
Unfortunately we have an aphid problem. We are trying to sort out what we can do about it. There are beneficial organisms that I am going to look up today to purchase. We've tried to wash them off but the populations is quite large. I'll keep you posted.
The garden this AM. Nicole and Derek are hole weeding. That is, removing the weeds from the holes where the plants are growing.
Jerusalem Artichoke plants growing so well.
On the weekend we attended the New Farmers Gathering. It was really fun, relaxed and just lovely. The seminars that I listened in on were great. I highly recommend going if you have the opportunity in the future.
Does Safer's Insecticidal Soap work for aphids? Is it practical on a large scale?
ReplyDeleteI hope so - we have some on order - it will be in tomorrow. We have also ordered wasps that love to eat aphids. Hopefully between the two we will get a handle on it. Thanks!!!
