I envy those pretty blossoms. I keep thinking mine will blossom soon, but I don't even see any buds yet. I love your ladybug. I had a ton in my garden and they obviously laid eggs. I've been seeing the larvae all over. Now I just need to see one when I have my camera with me.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-70428748087675659972009-07-09T20:04:50.358-04:002009-07-09T20:04:50.358-04:00Have you tried growing them in a garbage can?

You think you are giving it plenty of water but it all runs down the side and out the bottom.Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-61957019558957669632009-07-06T22:07:52.945-04:002009-07-06T22:07:52.945-04:00I would not let that cucumber beetle live peaceful...I would not let that cucumber beetle live peacefully, they multiply rapidly and next year all your daisies will be looking very ugly...if you have daisies.

I'll try again next year!<br /><br />I've been noticing a few cucumber beetles, but nothing is out of whack enough to do anything but desultory hand picking so far. I hope that as the soil improves each year the bug population will enjoy some balance too.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-80729334332513485342009-07-06T00:04:17.885-04:002009-07-06T00:04:17.885-04:00Your potatoes look great.
