Good news and…

The good news is that I did not have any issues with SVB this year. I grew my squash up a trellis. Zucchini was the tastiest. I recommend growing vertically. I trimmed off the leaves as they got big. It allowed pollinators easier access to the flowers. Also, I think the SVB larvae got cut off before it could reach the stock. Eventually the squash gave in to the heat though, when temps sprung up and fried everything.

The bad news is stink bugs. I first noticed them on the bluebonnet seeds that were forming. They were very little, just out of the larval stage. Then they multiplied and turned into this. This was not a great tomato year. Stink bug damage made dry, thick skinned tomatoes. Wah.
