Good morning, as it stands NOAA is saying by this weekend we should be enjoying the remnants of a hurricane that has hit the west coast of Mexico. with the best chances being Saturday night and Sunday. Remnants give us some of our best rainstorms. They are calm storms that hang with us but leave behind lots of moisture. Lets hope that this is the case. I have been fortunate to have received moisture but there are so many places in West Texas that haven't. This could possibly end our fire season. We can only hope.
The garden is doing well. I think I may have thwarted the spider mite and thrips infestation. They quite frequently migrate into the garden from the surrounding range land. What with the heat of late their populations can very easily explode. I hope to have dodged this bullet. I haven not experienced the Harlequin bug infestation that a lot of other folks have although I noticed an increase of cucumber beetles along with a few squash bugs. Spraying for thrips and spider mites should bring these guys into check also. Even with the winter chill we received there seems to be plenty of bugs to go around.
