Do you just sprinkle the baking soda on the leaves, or do you mix it with water & spray it, or....?

Yikes. I don't like the sound of that. :hide So nothing easy like DE or soap/water works with them?

Wow, V, I'm so sorry. I haven't been on the forum in a couple of days so didn't know. I wish I lived closer, I'd come out & tend your chickens & garden!!! Will none of the friends coming over help with the gardening? I know, personally, I'd rather do that than take care of a 4 year old. ;)...

Yep, RR, that's them! The top picture, the bug on the right, looks EXACTLY like them. How did you get rid of them? :fl

After getting the Invasion of the Tomato Worms under control, I now have a new pest. :( These are about an inch long, thin (as opposed to roundish like japanese beetles) with what appears to be two black stripes on its back (altho it could be the topside of its wings), with gray borders & gray...

Me too!! :ep I always planted the little bulbs when I gardened in VT & had terrific "globe" onions. Here in NC - nuffin'! The green-top "bunching" onions I alway planted from seed with a lot of success. :pop

Okay, that's good to know!! vfem - yes, my other one looks just like your picture...& I think the wasps have done their job, because it hasn't moved in 24 hours! PLUS...I haven't found any others in that time either (after the original 5-6 I plucked off). :D Also good to know I can feed them...

:woot

I'd always heard you were just supposed to squish them when you found them (altho I couldn't personally do it, I have too much of a gag reflex :sick ), but recently I read that if you found one with white egg sacks stuck to them to leave it be, because they were braconid wasps that would kill...

I'm so jealous!!! I want one!! :D

Looks like a teeny tiny alien astronaut... :/

Bizarre! I hope someone can tell us what exactly this is... :P

It just rained here for about 30 whole blessed seconds...:rolleyes: ...just enough to get everything wet, but that's it! The deck dried out in about 2 minutes. We had that smokey haze a couple days ago, it was hard to even go outside. Happy 3rd day of summer! :tongue

I finally have ONE 'mater turning red! :woot

Yeah, the grass still finds a way in...except in my actual lawn, where it's supposed to be. And I'm still getting bit up when I'm out weeding!!! :rant

I feel your pain, vfem! (or should I say, I feel your sweat!!) :P Every day "they" say it's going to rain...then nothing!!! Just clouds, heat, wind! :( My metal cages were all blown over last weekend...I got up to find every plant on the ground. Now the 'maters are staked & tied with old...

Wow! You'd think that was the same person! :ep

The Ball canning book has a fair number of pickle recipes. Just tried their B&B this week. :D

:woot Yay, nachoqtpie!

I don't like radishes myself, altho I grew them this year for DH. I only got 4-5 out of the 20 or so I planted, tho. :/ He said they were good, but he'll eat anything. :rolleyes:
