Garden Woes

[BarredBuff]

So many garden woes. Everything is dying. Cabbage and Brocolli ALL died, very few taters. Tomatoes are dying (replanted twice). Beans havent come up. Corn is looking good though.

I need organic potato bug pest control, and corn worm pest control.

Next year the plan is to plant peas, brocolli, cabbage, and potatoes in late february. So this fall we are going to work the ground and add manure and then put the plastic over it, so we can plant.

So please help me!

I had no luck with spring broccoli, it just gets hot too quick here.

Beans take forever to come up, don't give up yet.

Sorry you're having trouble this year!

Hi BB, sorry for all the troubles...

For what it's worth, you're not alone. I've never had much luck with broccoli since I moved south. Peppers haven't done anything this year. Beans I had to plant twice. I got maybe 4 radishes out of the 20-30 seeds I planted. :/

Gardening is an emotional rollercoaster!

Gardening is cornfusing as well!

. . . I need organic potato bug pest control, and corn worm pest control . .

Plants that are stressed become vulnerable to pests.

Here is Cornell's Resource Guide to organic crop protection.

I hope it helps.

For potato bugs, I just spend a couple days picking and squishing them. After a while they give up. For the corn ear worms, you can put a little squirt of mineral oil in the top of each ear after its been pollinated. Don't wait too long, right about the time the silks have grown long. Fall broccoli is easier. I'll never try to grow it in the spring again. Hang in there and keep trying! Gardening certainly has its learning curve!
