A lot of the garden needs more water. It's not the frequency of the watering, but the amount - the water wasn't getting really really deep like it needs to be.
All the squash plants have been attacked and basically destroyed by squash vine borer bugs. They're gross. I haven't intentionally not used pesticides, but if I continue in that vein it looks like I can use this BT stuff to kill them.
The tomato plants are getting ready to produce, but my father-in-law is concerned that they may have blight. We'll see.
After making a big salad with the lettuce, there wasn't much left and it wasn't doing very good anyways so we pulled up what was left and re-planted with all the seed I had left.
We're going to give the green beans a chance. There are a lot of plants and they're getting ready to sprout.
I'll be watering this week with some Miracle-Gro plant food that you spray through an attachment to the hose.
