How many of you have started planning gardens?
For those looking for deals on seeds, this is the time of year Menards sells seeds for 10 CENTS per package. They are not GMO seeds, I honestly don't know why they are selling them more cheaply other then that they are simple heirloom varieties without 10 options per vegetable. I've planted them two years in a row now and have since made it a habit to grab as many of those we like to grow as I can get my hands on (while leaving half for others of course (smilez).
This year we are hoping for a much more productive season than last year.
One big problem we have had for about 4 years now are squash bugs boring the main trunk of a variety of squash. We tried neem oil last year with minimal success, and while we try to catch the small red eggs hiding under the plant leaves, we don't always catch them all. Has anyone else experienced and found an effective way to eliminate them?
