Happy 4th 🇺🇸 and happy #testgardentuesday! Today is a garden update. Come see how things are growing and what pests are battling.
🥔 Potatoes
To protect against the Potato Leaf Beetle, Deborah is using our Zenith Hoops and Cotton Summerweight Cover instead of chemical pesticides.
👋 Quick Tip! 👋
Snip off flowers so the plant will send energy into growing the spuds instead of seeds.
🐛 Kale
Cover your brassicas to protect against the cabbage moth caterpillars.
🐌 Slugs
Are you spotting slugs? Yuck. Apply diatomaceous earth, a natural chemical-free solution that really works. It’s super-fine dust that kills by abrading and dehydrating crawling insects and is earthworm-safe.
😋 Basil
It’s pesto time! It’s best to harvest basil cut stems instead of leaves for bushier plants and always pinch off the flowers. Try storing them in a glass with water to keep them fresh.
