I think a mocking bird is pecking my blackberries...

 

hope you don't dust any feathers

 

Ill be handing out lead salad

 

Looking good!

 

Few pics the gf sent me. Our peppers are growing!

 

Bug Identification help please.
Found these on my Nasturtium plant today. Live in Massachusetts. Does anyone know what they may be ? Thank you for any help.

 

Black bean aphids is my guess.

 

Looks like Aphids. Neem oil or whatever google suggests.

 

@Toyko Joe and @MGMDesertTaco thank you for the fast response,,,,happy to hear they are Aphids,,,they I can deal with. I cut the leaves off and threw them away. Thank you for your time and help, its appreciated,

 

I have better luck with neem oil concentrate than the ready mixed versions. Southern AG or Captain Jacks from Home Depot both work well.

 

Stuck a couple mole traps out, got 2 so far in the berry patch.

 

X2 thats what google says also

 

What trap is that? Looks stout

 

I got them on Amazon, they are very stout, when the mole pushes the ground up it slams closed.

 

we’ve been using this mesh to keep the birds out of our berries. Timing is key! They will eat the berries green but if we put it on early we have to let the hummingbirds out of it….

 

Local arboretum has a weed identification area. Very cool

 

I'm jealous of your zucchini, mine shot up and have stalled; flowers for weeks, nothing. Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers are doing ok but not well, have a few cantaloupe and watermelon. Pumpkin nearly all dead, first crop. I usually use worm castings but this year tried cow manure instead. Soil PH is closer to acidic but should be within tolerance. I think due to the dry weather we've had on the panhandle this year, this past week has been nice.
