July in the Garden

The Ruth Stout experiment is still going strong.  I am finding that I still have bermuda grass and several other weeds coming up thru the mulch anywhere I did not get the cardboard thick enough. But on the whole it is working out great. 

I installed irrigation. I spent a whole 50$ and put it all together myself. It will never regret it and I don't know why I didn't do it before. The tomatoes, cucumbers, and  squash are growing the best they ever have. 

I had a terrible several days with the hornworms. The chickens got plenty while I was handpicking them. They are nasty. I may have found the best way to battle them. I put neem seed meal under the plants and after about a week I have seen no new damage. I know it worked on the squash bugs last year treated the same way. Maybe I'll get some red tomatoes?...  We shall see.
