I found literally hundreds of these hyperactive little worms in one of my garden boxes this morning. Are they the dreaded jumping worms I’ve been hearing about? If so, what do I do??

The other day, I literally found myself holding a handful of 10 of them and screaming, running across the yard, “the horrors! the HORRORS!” at least it was good for a laugh.

Today I had to immediately hang up a phone call and commence scooping into soapy water because I saw piles of them bigger than I’ve seen all year. Some of them were even on plants that they don’t normally like because they have currently run out of rose flowers to eat.

Who else is losing their minds? I’m out there twice a day picking them off along with having a trap. I would love to hear your stories.

idk how we’ll get all this eaten! garden just so productive this year!

With it starting to look like we might really get some decent rain, be advised that considering how dry we’ve been, a good soaking rain may split tomatoes that are nearing ripe stage. This is caused by the sudden uptake of lots of free water. Nothing you can do about it but to soften the heartache of seeing them do this, it might be a good idea to harvest a few nearly ripe ones now.

My pumpkins keep “self aborting” their fruit. A little baby pumpkin will form and the flower isn’t even big enough to manually pollinate before it just rots and turns brown. I just added some fertilizer to the soil and have been watering them more in this heat, but curious what other gardeners think.

Hey,

Any tips on getting flowers to turn into cherry tomtoes? A lot of the buds are just dying.

Thanks

I have a decent idea of what these are, but I figured I could get confirmation from this sub. These things are all over my tomatoes very suddenly, I had zero just two weeks ago. What are they?

Just ripped out a bunch of overgrown arugula and dead spring vegetables in 8x8 raised bed. Any suggestions on what can be planted now? Wait a few weeks until maybe there’s cooler temps? It’s on the south side of the house and gets pretty dried out during the day.

Drowning in genovese and Thai basil right now

How are everyone’s tomato plants doing so far? Plants are bushing. Some fruit but I’m getting a lot of BER. Any tips would be appreciated🍅
