Picked my first handful of green beans from my Earthbox. Unfortunately, aphids are attacking fiercely - so I have to keep spraying my homemade insecticidal soap every few days to keep the population down.
I can't believe the aphids this year. With crunching at work this week I wasn't able to address them until this afternoon and they had exploded. Beyond manual crushing I too had to spray soap to kill of the major colonies.
Welcome to our garden! Since 2007 we have been striving to turn our lawn into something beautiful, tasty, ecologically sound, and a centerpiece of our community here in Franklin, Massachusetts. We hope you enjoy your visit!
