Im glad you share the struggles! It helps us all learn. The comments always have so many helpful suggestions for these issues also! Amazing attention to detail! I hope all that effort pays off and your harvest is plentiful! 🙏🥰
Rachel yes use the soapy water I would use it about every other day. I haven't seen one wipe them off as they should fall of. Try netting your beds if possible. You can use 7 dust for vegetables also my Daddy use it on all our plants and flowers.
There are 3 things I keep in my garden shed for garden pests…Neem oil, captain Jack dead bug powder and/ or spray and diatomaceous earth and usually don’t have pests in my garden. Occasionally I’ll have mealy bugs or white flies but not this year. I live in zone 8b in middle Georgia.
Hello Rachel I'm fighting the worms on my broccoli & cabbage. Ive been using apple vinegar & dawn deluted with water. And just pour it on them. Last year i ended pulling my cabbage & broccoli. This year it seems to be keeping them at bay a little better. I have to do it about once every 2 weeks. Because of rain & watering. Praying 🙏 i harvest both this year.
My husband just made a small garden i memory of his dad who died from covid after contracti g it i his nursing home. He use to ake their backyard a co plete garden, and man, was Their backyard big. My husband never could play in the back cause he always would say my dads garden is back there. Lololol. Now he got the captain jack powder just like his dad. Your gardens are beautiful Rach. Best wishes to momma and the family.
Aphids are drawn to plants with an excess of nitrogen - legumes can become targets simply due to being successful nitrogen producers. Plants like stinging nettle attract the aphids early on, and if they are permitted to live, the ladybugs will also come to eat aphids .. by the time your beans are up, the ladybugs will have the aphids under control. Planting buckwheat early in the season seems to work for a trap crop, too -- and enough buckwheat will survive to replant over and over. Remember, buckwheat LOVES to soak up excess nitrogen - so if interplanting with nettles doesn't sound like your kind of fun, annual buckwheat is a good alternative.
We get squash bugs in our garden here in Maine...the best solution we found is to use DE Earth...that is a multi pest solution for us and the lawn...Cheers from Maine.
My tomato leaves are being attacked by hornworms and little black caterpillars are eating the actual tomato. No problems earlier this year, then extreme heat hit and so did the pests
🤠 APHIDS: 🐞🐞🐞🐞 UA-cam > Traditional Homestead > ( 11 days ago ) THIS OLD TIME SECRET Saved our tomatoes from aphids! No Chemicals, No Soap (Ava Mo.) 🤠 know you don't want the Asian bettle or they'll find ways to winter in your house and walls, here in soybeans/ corn country if there is another year or two of crop rotation, the aphid is not near the issue, in the soybeans, which makes me believe it has something to do with soil health 🤥🤫🤔

You can set out ladybugs to eat aphids also

After you finish cleaning off the plants, you should go back and respray them with the dawn dish soap, it will deter them.

I also use cayenne & Cinnamon on leaves....yes that means I'm buying in bulk 😊. It's helping.
Gardens are no joke, I'm learning they take alot of work. The end products are priceless. Home grown ❤
Good luck with your garden 😊
I have not enough patience....glad you do...good job. Hugs
Hope it Works Rachel 🙏

I hope you have an abundance of produce!! 💜
Good luck with the bugs. Some years are worse than others. Guess they like the heat. Stay hydrated. Good luck with your garden. ✌️🇺🇸❤️
I hope you win the bug battle! The garden is looking great!
Howdy Rachel!! I hope you squashed the bug problems 👍

Makes you realize what our pioneers went through!! Hope the treatment works!

Yes,if it ain't bugs,then it's heat with extreme dry soil
Rachael you have more patience than I do.
🤠
MUST spray The UNDERSIDE of the leaves! Good luck! Love your family and your videos!
In Tennessee we are getting rain

Wouldn't it be nice if giving my dogs flea baths were that easy .
I watch another UA-camr and they used a fogger with dish liquid and fogged there plants which was able to get the underneath the leaves
If you cover your plants in curtain netting it will stop all flighing insects an protects them from infestations ,hope this helps ❤❤❤
If you have ants the raise the aphids and milk them for their nests. So look for ant trails.
Is that a human wash cloth?!
😗😘🤩😍🥰👍👍
Best cure for aphids is to release lady bugs or praying mantis into the garden
Insects eat everything???
