Your 2026 Garden

Very informative information coming through.
We get a few millipedes & centipedes here. We get a lot of pill bugs & they love zucchini. If the zucchini touches the dirt they get them. I have to check my zucchini every day & make sure the new ones are sitting on the vines, not on the dirt. The pill bugs don't seem to navigate on the prickly hairy vines. I know I have to wear my rose gloves to work with the vine veggies & fruit. The prickly hairs make my skin break out if it touches me.

we get a lot of pill bugs here but i never had a problem with them on the zucchini's (those prickly hairs are so itchy!)
i have a problem with earwigs making houses out of my peppers. at my old house, they didn't bother them. so strange!

Do you also call squirrels tree rats?

Brother calls them fuzzy tailed rats. He calls chipmunks Target Practice - smaller, harder to hit, keeps his shot keen.
