The Giving Garden of Carrollton

Many of the gardens are now seeing this new pest-a leaffooted bug. I found several on my tomatoes this morning. They feed on developing fruit and also on stems and tender leaves of plants. They should be eliminated if you can catch them. I’m going to take a jar of soapy water to the garden to drown them as I catch them.

The garden has dried out from the rain of last week. Back to hot, humid and dry conditions. My new fall tomatoes have survived the week in good shape, and the brandywine tomato I cut back has sprouted a bunch of healthy leaves.

Our Giving Garden sign on the front gate is awesome! Thank you so much, Justin. Happy gardening all.
