Q: My squash are rotting on the vine. Is this an indication of blossom end rot?
A: Yes, it is possible that it is blossom end rot. This would occur on a more mature fruit. If that is the case, spray with calcium chloride. However, your problem may be lack of pollination due to the lack of honey bees. Here is a short video describing how to pollinate your squash yourself.

Be on the look out for this moth if you have squash. This is the Squash Vine Borer moth, as you can tell it looks very similar to a wasp. It lays its eggs at the base of a branch. The larvae then will eat through the branch and into the main stem. The only way to control them is to apply an insecticide to kill the adult moth. We recommend using a Spinosid product or a Bifenthrin product.

When we planted the beans in our raised beds, we decided to do a little experiment. If you look at the picture below, you will see that the row on the left is a lot more healthy in appearance, than the row on the right. Inoculant is applied to the seed at the time of planting. What it does is pretty cool. Inoculant is really a fancy word for bacteria. The bacteria has the ability to pull nitrogen from the air and turn it into a kind of nitrogen the beans can use. Therefore, making a self contained nitrogen generator. So take a look and remember to use inoculant for healthy plants

Be on the look-out for symptoms of early blight. Early blight is a fungus that could affect the health of your tomato plants. Watch for yellowing of the leaves on the bottom limbs. It’s easily treated with the fungicide Daconil. Check out the picture below for a comparison.

Q: What causes the lower leaves of my tomato plants to roll up?
A: Leaf roll (curling of the leaflets) is a physiological condition that occurs most commonly when plants are trained and pruned. It does not affect fruiting or quality, and it is not a disease. Leaf roll is a common genetic tract in some varieties such as “
Mountain Delight” and “Mountain Spring.”
