They're baaack!

Last couple of days, between work and rain, seemed like the squash bugs had pretty much disappeared. Yeah, not so much. They were back in extreme force this evening. Just handled them manually. Don't think my spray is going to do much good with any rain. Luckily, got to them before they did any major apparent damage. 

In spite of the drip irrigation, seems like the rain made things accelerate. Maybe that means I should add more nitrogen to the irrigation water once in a while, after all. Well water has nitrates but maybe not enough. 

Tomato flowers have slowed down a lot. Maybe because of the heat, maybe because so much fruit already hanging. Picked 4 tomatoes tonight. They look really good! I'll save them. Daughter will go nuts!
