Bugs are bad everywhere this year I'm in Ohio zone 6a and the flea beetles and grubs are unreal. I planted basil and marigolds everywhere I could but even my Rhubarb leaves are lunch for the bugs !
My garden nemesis is the dreaded Squash vine borer! I am learning how to be a squash surgeon by performing the bore- ectomy procedure. So far most of my patients died. 😮
We had squash bugs and just took our pumpkin plant out. First I used a one gallon sprayer with castille soap and it worked but it was way too late as there were thousands of them before I found a remedy that worked. Lesson learned for next year. Good luck with your surgery.
Surgery does work well. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
depending where you are located, you can master when they come in your area. so for me in new england I know we will have one generation of adults in late june/early July and can plant summer squash late (mid to late july) and dodge them. of course then I have to worry about the cucumber beetles so idk

I like the idea of having a starter bed. I have a large fabric raised bed in storage, I think I will try this with it. I always have trouble with the overlap of what’s left of the summer garden and wanting to start a fall garden.
The transplant bed should help. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Water is key. He's correct raised beds can drain well and to get the earth fully soaked you have to water deeply. Mulch with straw shredded newspaper cardboard or mulch. It really helps. I like greens so I let my turnip tops get bigger before I thin same with beats.
Agreed. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Do you have any suggestion on how to do better with carrots and beets? Every year that I plant them whether it’s in the spring or for the fall they are tiny especially the beets. I get a ton of green growth probably because of high nitrogen but the bulbs and the carrots are tiny
I used agro thrive 3-3-2 for my carrots this year. I never had such an abundance of carrots as I did after using the agro thrive. You can get it from Gary's seed shop. I won't use any other fertilizer from now on. Happy gardening.
Not sure really as soil is tuff to recommend changes. You can look to increase phosphorous and potassium but I dont have specific recommendations.

There were so many white flies it was unbelievable that they actually showed up on camera. My worst pests here in Florida are white flies and spider mites. Ill take aphids any day, they are very easy to get rid of. I hope you get rid of those soon.
Thanks. Working on getting rid of them. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
10:11 ~ What did you say at this point? “Lettuce tends to” bolt? What exactly is that? Sure wish I had your green thumb, Gary! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Elizabeth below explained it well. Thanks. In the cool weather it's a long period of just nice leaf growth and we harvest and eat. What it gets hot it goes from leaves to flowers.

I have raised beds, I adjusted to a daily watering on a thirty minute drip. I have straw mulch on top, my plants are not yellowing but they are not growing as vigorously as last season. I noticed that my soil is always damp now. You said that it is rare to over water, but should the soil dry out between watering? I worry I am over watering.
I dont think it's overwatering. I could be wrong. You can experiment with a drying out period but I would give them all a big drink of organic water soluble fertilizer and see if that helps.

I would find out what pesticides and herbicides are being used where you get your straw. Many people forget farmers use these chems and that it's in the straw.
Usually, white fly doesn't come to my garden until the later part of August or early September - specifically, and especially, as I start to thin down the summer plants in preparation for fall. Such a headache.
