Thank you and yes I hate those grasshoppers! I’m getting things together for a fall garden too. This will be my first time getting to plant in the fall and I’m excited about it!
Hello from Breaux Bridge, La. I do the same with my plants, just try to get them into late September. Kentucky Wonder Poles do amazing for me. I plant them really early. 1 Day at a time. Praying for your mom. 🙏
I`m up here near Catahoula Lake. It actually rained today and it looks like we might get more. Grass was dead and some pines died here. My figs were dropping even though I was watering with the hose so I dug down in the mulch around the trees and the roots were bone dry. I planted 7 fig trees & 4 dwarf mulberry trees mostly this year except for one fig tree I started last year. Lots of pests this year. I`m having to cook my green Red Ripper Pea pods because they`re getting stung by those beetles that have infested the South and ruining 98% of the peas inside them. They wiped out my Purple Hulls and Crowders so I won`t grow those again. Ants are eating my ground cherries in their husks and worms keep infesting everything. I also have to put alarms all around the garden and stay up all night to fight off the armadillos or they`ll uproot the entire garden by the roots. I have no car so I have to grow all my fresh vegetables, fruits and berries and order basic supplies and canned fish so it`s a constant battle since I moved to this lot two years ago to figure out what works and what doesn`t.
I’m telling you this year has been a struggle! I’m about to try green beans for the 4th time. We are planning a small orchard for this winter and I hate to see what bugs I will be fighting off of that!
A mama bunny put her nest in my garden this year and they nibbled my cantaloupe and watermelon vines. I couldn`t be mean to baby bunnies but when I mowed around the garden she came and moved them. Ha! She doesn`t bother my garden and is almost tame and likes Red Ripper Peas so I plant them around the area away from the garden and she`s happy.

Thank you! I definitely got a late start on the garden this year. Maybe the fall garden will do better. 😊

I have seen rabbit poop around the garden this year but they haven’t done much damage and thankfully the deer have stayed away so far.
