    My understanding was to leave them go. The wasps eggs are killing the worm thats killing your plant.

    Question for you gardening pros.
    What are you planting this time of year?

    We just pulled onions and garlic was harvested a couple weeks ago, I'd like to plant those spaces.

    Far from a pro here, but I did plant some broccoli this week. It's in a spot that gets full sun for only part of the day. The thinking behind it being I don't want the plants to bolt while the summer temperatures are still cooking hot. Next month I'll do another planting of lettuce, radishes and probably cilantro.

    Pumpkin, jack-o-lantern and mini Pumpkin plants are looking good.
    Probably dig some potatoes Sunday.

    Brussel sprouts aren't doing well, plants are hardly growing.

    Hitting the like button seems a bit inadequate after looking at all the pictures.

    I’ve been harvesting for a while now but no pics of my garden. Weeds completely took over.

    I like the darker colour of the sunflower.

    Sunflowers look good (I planted some 3 times this year, each time the squirrels dug them up :hair:) It looks like you're growing black cherry tomatoes too. Mine just started coming in last week :thumbs: I hear you on the weeds. Even though I put down straw and have been adding grass clippings, weeds find a way to get a foothold overnight it seems. At this stage in the game with everything well-established, I don't worry too much about it. I'll pull the easy to get to stuff anyway.

    Ah crap. Neighbor just told me he saw a rattle snake 250' from the garden. (About halfway between his house and mine. It's about 100' from where we CSS firewood.

    Deer took out our zucchini plants and only have a few pears left on the 2 trees I have.
    Gave a good look at the paw paw grove when I was checking trail cameras. They seem to be in abundance this year. Of course I had nothing to do with that. :)

    Yum. Mater sandwiches.
    Didn’t plant any cherry/grape sizes. These grow full size.
