More Newness!

You ever have one of those days where you just keep going steadily along and before you know it, you're dragging and it's past your bedtime? Yeah, me too. And yesterday was one. Sorry I missed getting this up here last night.

But - will ya' take a look at that? If you can't tell from that picture, that is yellow squash. There are too many plants in that one tub, but well... lol.

And before you say it - yes. Yes, I know I have had no luck with yellow squash before. It gets all big and pretty and then starts to wither and look like it's been sucked dry. If you've been following for a while, then you recall I was told by Someone Who Knows that that happened because some butterfly was laying their eggs in the blossoms and the larvae did it. And that the only organic recourse I had was to open each bud on the plant and pull out the larvae with tweezers. 

To which my response was, "Not just NO, but HECK NO." Or you know, something along those lines. ;-)

I had given up on having squash. Until I went to that Green Fair a few months ago. I was talking to someone about my problem and she said go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get bug spray.

Duh.

Here's another picture just because it's so dang cool  :D

Organic it is not. But I don't care, I'll be honest. And a few days ago, I hosed down the whole garden with this bug spray. Of course I would love to stick to strictly organic, but if you also recall, the only reason I talked myself into trying this garden thing out was to see if I could do it with little to no work. (Yes I know. Don't judge me, lol).

I'm going to spray everything again this weekend. Add some osmocote, too. And well, I guess I'll see what I see. And of course, it will all be here, whether you're interested or not, ha!
