What did you do in the garden today?

I found out that Spinosad doesn't kill crickets, but I have something that does, it's a granular yard and vegetable spread made by Seven. I have been using it for ants and for a creepy fat white worm that bite. It works on surface by contact or underground and it can be used in vegetable gardens. Crickets are on the label kill list.
 
Save some of your small ones. That's what I did. I have a bag of them in with the rest of the potatoes, saved for next spring's planting.
I have a lot of little ones! It was nice to start with labeled varieties though. Of course I immediately forgot which ones got planted where. :gig

Oh, me too.

I didn't buy any seed potatoes last year, and don't plan to buy any in 2024. I'm looking to become as seed self sufficient as I can.

I will still try new varieties of tomatoes, via purchased seed. When I find one I like, I save seed, and grow it again the next year. Then I buy something else to try.
 
I made a 44-gallon set it and forget it kratky trash bin for my last Kajiri melon. The crickets can't get to it, it's way off the ground. I also made a 20-gallon kratky trash bin for a Sun Sugar cherry tomato. I want to see how many fruits I can get without refilling.

My Hoss tomatoes are doing better than my Red Snapper tomatoes and they were seeded 14 days later. The Hoss tomatoes are growing in Promix with a front 2lbs line of Dr. Earth Tomato fertilizer. The Red Snapper is growing in Miracle Grow Potting mix with a different type of fertilizer. I will use Promix or something similar (Peat and perlite 4 to 1) in all my future DYI Earth Box grow outs.

The first picture is the one with Promix and the second is the one with Miracle Grow Potting Mix.
