Veggies!

Look what I found in the garden today!



In my excitement I probably picked the peppers a little too early but I read that they'll ripen a little even after being picked. I can't wait to eat the zucchini for dinner tonight!

On an annoying note, I seem to have squash bugs. Does anyone know an organic way to get rid of them?

ran across your blog through some of my other blog friends. I went to college with Steven at CIU- we taught bible clubs together. So you have squash bugs?

Well i have squash in my garden too and i found a recipe for organic pesticide. All it is a quart of water, a few drops of soap (not detergent) - i used Tom's organic soap. And a TBl. spn. of canola oil. Mix it well and spray on your vegetables and their leaves.

Spray them down right before dark so they can dry - otherwise the sun might burn the leaves.

hope that works!
