Rutgers are turning red so I’m about to be overloaded with them. Will just bring extra to work. They are organic. No chemical fertilizer or pest killer while calling it better than store bought because I grew it here.

Squash growing like crazy. Cukes a little slow. Watermelon doing good.

Soil under tunnel roof starting to dry out so I’ll be watering soon.

Got a list of IPM items for flea beetles, some of which help with other pests. Tansy & Rosemary repel and Radish is a trap crop. There are others but rosemary and potatoes - yum. Pansies repel a ton of pests and radishes are quick and easy most all the time and I can try some daikon soil breakers.

“Radish is a trap crop.”

Making a note. That’s a good subject for future plantings/postings.

Unless YOU want to do it. :)
