Garden Maintenance Today

The aisles were weed-wacked today along with ant killer applied to the them.  If your plants are growing out in the aisles, instead of climbing the bamboo, they might get weed wacked.  You can carefully wrap the cucumber tendrills around the bamboo to get them started going up instead of spreading.  The cucumbers are much easier to harvest if grown vertically and it keeps the little green worms out of them.  The worms also get into the squash.  If you notice a pin-sized hole in the squash, the worms are in and feasting.
