Tired

Maybe it's just because I'm overly tired from a fun weekend in Reno, but I'm a little depressed about my garden right now.

The eggplant fell over on Friday. Chris staked it back up and we're going to have to watch it.
Aphids or Whiteflies have infested nearly everything overnight it seems. They're killing all of the plants.

That awful large big huge nasty creature of a bug is back. I have no idea what it is, but I DON'T WANT IT NEAR MY GARDEN. When stinging bugs abound, I want nothing to do with my garden. Honeybees excluded from that statement, of course.

The squash needs to be taken out, even though it's still productive. Infested. Leaning. Not staked. Taking up lots of room. Other bad things too.






Watermelon is turning yellow, and I'm concerned for the 3 watermelons we have that actually got large enough to eat, but aren't ready to harvest yet. Sigh. I hope they don't shrivel.






The tomatoes are insane. I almost just want to call it quits this year and rip them all out. We have pruned them back twice, and within days they are once again nutso and ginormous. You can hardly walk by them at the moment, because they are so large. I need to take my own advice next year.

It was hot today.



I found where my neighbor's bamboo is growing through the fence, splitting a rail in the fence. Non-spreading bamboo my a$$. I'm going to have to go out there with a knife everyday until winter to cut it back, and hope they don't see me because they will freak out.





I think I just need some sleep. With daylight comes perspective. But only if the awful bug isn't out there...
