Squash Vine Borers

Butch — Sat, 05 May 2012 19:45:25 +0000

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.

Inoculant in Beans

Butch — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:14:33 +0000

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

Early Blight on Tomatoes

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.

Leaf Roll on Tomatoes

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.”

Golden Zucchini Squash

Butch — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:50:32 +0000

If you decided to plant the Golden Zucchini this year and have leaves that look like the pictures below, don’t fret. This is just the way Golden Zucchini leaves look. No need to break out the chemicals just yet but be on the look out for powdery mildew which looks just about the same.
