I put a little Seven Dust on my tomato plants to keep the tomato worms off.
Otherwise, would need to go out several times a day and manually pick the
worms off. The problem is the tomato worms are very difficult to see. If you
don't keep the insects off, they'll eat all the leaves from the plant and you won't
have tomato or very small poor tomatoes. AND those tomato worms are horrible
looking creatures. I put vinegar and dish soap in bottle, and if I see worm I spray
it and worm fall off and then I kill worm.
HaHa! Makes me think of Zucchini. I love it but that stuff grows like no tomorrow.
There's lots of funny stories about zucchini and neighbors. I have done the same.
I'd put some on neighbors porches and a few days later there would be some on
my porch. You can't hardly give the stuff away because it is so abundant in the
garden.
What I would do with it....and actually I still do when I buy it.....I will grate it and
place in freezer bags. It makes a good pizza topping and most importantly, I
make zucchini bread with it.
I will grate 2 cups to a freezer bag. I do that near the end of the season. No
cooking or anything. Just grate it and put in freezer bags and freeze. Great at
Christmas time for zuchinni bread.
Since I am in the USA I will say this in regards to USA only.
People eat too much meat. Cows, chickens, pigs, are treated horribly.
Anyone in the USA reading this, if you eat meat, please at least reduce your meat consumption.
It will be good for your health and good for your wallet and good for the animals.
Of course, right now there is a meat shortage and personally, I hope it stays that way.
When my husband was alive, I had lots of land so we always put out a garden.
Not a large garden. Just a small garden. It was not much trouble to care for.
It was more food then we would eat thru-out the year.
We planted tomatoes, zucchini, okra, green beans, corn, watermelon, onions,
yellow squash, and some times peas or something else.
In the State of Tennessee, it's in the South, gardens grow real well without a
lot of maintenance. Plow the garden spot real well, make your rows, plant,
hoe when needed, keep the bugs and worms off (a little Seven Dust works
well) and then eat when ready.
They say the Rabbit virus only affects the Rabbits.
But one can only imagine, how the wild rabbit came to have the virus to begin with?
Did they eat a bad carrot?
'Bunny' that is the name I have given a big fat wild rabbit that visits my yard, eats
the little wild strawberries and pears that fall from the big pear tree.
I think what may happen at some point is, not much of the food supply will be fit to
eat. Everything from animals to fruits and veggies seem to be more and more and
more contaminated with something.
So happy I am in my twilight years and be lucky to die a natural dead in a few years.
