The jungle santuary or aka the hoop house.
The rain keeps falling on Pickpocket Farm and the weeds keep growing out of control. At least I can escape to my hoop house. I have a bit more control over mother nature in the farm's hoop house in terms of watering, heat and insects. The vegetable are growing awesome in there. From left to right: Lola tomatoes, Shintokiwa Cucumbers, Eggplant/Pepppers, and Charentais Melons. Check out

I love what you are doing! I have a question about colorado potato beetles and thought you might be able to help...Do you have them and if so what do you do to get rid of them besides hand picking them? thanks, Monica

Hi Monica! Yes, I have CPB. They wiped out my potato crops 2 years in a row. I couldn't keep up with them by just smashing them with my fingers. This year I used an organic spray, called Captain Jack's (just the brand name). The main chemical is spinosad. It's made a big difference. I've only had to spray once, and the potatoes are growing very healthy. Good luck!
