Most suggestions I've seen is to keep an eye out for their appearance and if/when they show up slice them out of the vine and inject Bt into the vine via the slice and cover it with soil. You also need to be vigilant in looking for their eggs which are usually on the underside of the leaves. Those can be removed using tape. Good luck, between them and the squash bugs I just let someone else grow them.

If you know a farmer that has some Cruiser sitting around, use that. Kills every bug imaginable.

You do need some bugs for pollination of the fruit unless you want to hand pollinate.

For some that is easier than others. I am not judging. So go after pollination if possible. Used Cruiser on trees for those green beetles. Insta death.

Bt is a bacteria that is more discriminating what it will kill.

You may remember my post from a few years ago. Where I planted trees on our property line next to my dumbass/asshole neighbor.
My trees are sending out shoots. I almost feel bad about it, but he has a lot on his property. Almost feel bad. All he needs to do is mow them over, but with it being so dry, they are growing. Not my problem. ![]() Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

So my wife accidentally sprayed our garden with a Jap beetle pesticide that isn't meant for edible plants.
All my tomatoes and pepper plants are probably ****ed, right? |

Home Depot has a great deal on a Champion rear tine tiller. $179 regularly $693. Not sure how long this will last.

Any of you pepper gardeners been affected by Peppergate? A lot of Kansas gardeners have had their jalapeno seeds and plants turn out to be a completely different pepper. Lots of banana peppers but other varieties as well. Different seed companies and nurseries involved, seems the distributor screwed up labeling them. I didn't plant peppers this year but I have seen quite a few posts in my gardening group from folks not getting the peppers they planted.

Anyone on the board an expert at growing citrus trees and have the ability to tell the difference between a meyer lemon tree and a dwarf key lime tree? Two years ago I bought both to grow in containers. What I thought was the key lime tree did not survive the first winter. The one that remains has started to grow some fruit. The first two fruits did not turn fully yellow before falling off the tree. A few more are ripening up, but also not sure if they will turn a full yellow.
Now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if the one that remains is actually the key lime tree. Any experts? Last edited by myselff77; 08-15-2023 at 06:48 PM.. |

Picture is hard to see on my phone, but those really look like key limes to me.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried re-uploading the picture in a bit higher resolution to see if it helps any. I’m starting to lean towards it being a key lime tree as well, but I just don’t know for sure. The tops of the fruit on some are now turning a brighter yellow so I could also just be inpatient.

It's amazing how you can go from no grass to needing a baler in just a few weeks.
