I hate to say it but I think I am calling it quits with the veg garden this year. A couple of days ago something took a buzz saw to my pepper plants that I had grown from seeds. The stems were completely striped of their leaves. I couldn’t find a culprit, whoever it was ate 2 and left 4 untouched. Next my zucchini plant died probably from that insect that bores into the stems that someone mentioned earlier. My lettuce, which I had way too much planted, became infested with little green worms. The final straw was an invasion of at least a hundred brown beetles with cream colored dots on their miserable little backs. I had thought that since we had a pretty cold winter in north Texas that the bugs wouldn’t be so bad but I thought wrong

I am so sorry to hear about it. Why don’t you just plant some stuff in a few little pots indoors if you can. I have had great luck with my cherry tomato plant.
