Gardens anyone?

My sure fire remedy is as follows...
Put a quarter cup or so of apple cider vinegar with a few drops of dishwashing detergent in a  small bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Poke some holes in the plastic wrap with a pencil or something and set it out. Do a couple if necessary. It will catch them all in a couple days.

I get them occasionally when I buy from farm markets. Never seem to get them from my own gardens.

They make me crazy!

Does anyone know how to turn seaweed into kelp meal? Is it really just wash and Dry, then grind up? I have does the type of seaweed matter?

[ActiveTrapChecker]

I’m not familiar with the process, sorry.

Showing some progress, finally have a few not green cherry tomatoes





The peppers had a great week. Hungarian wax:


Serrano:



Anaheim:




Jalapeño:



Now that the garden is watered, time to prep the ribs for the smoker

Just put up a couple jars of Bread and Butter refrigerator pickles.



Gotta wait 2 weeks for these to get happy.

Perch Pizza for dinner tonight.

Was gifted 2 extremely large pickle cucumbers


So made some spicy dill refrigerator pickles while the ribs are smoking.



I wish someone gave me a heads up that my smaller wide mouth Ball jars were gifted away...

[rgfixit]

I’ve pretty much given away all the small mouth canning jars I used to have. They’re a pain for anything but sauce.

Everyone's gardens are looking great. Unfortunately we never got one in this year. Just had too much going on. Enjoy them.

My very first homegrown strawberry 



perpetua blueberry just started blooming for the fall berries



Serrano peppers are getting close, I’m going to pick a few when the first one is ripened,


Red chilis (two in front) and ghost pepper are forming flower buds



Oh, and I though I lucked out and found a currant bush growing close by that I could forage from or even take a cutting, but taking a closer look, and using a plant ID app, it looks like it’s a guelder rose

Pulled some Norland Reds this morning for a party later. Neighbor’s smoking a couple racks of ribs. I’m making salt potatoes.
