Well, it has been a busy week so I haven't had a chance to post much. The Neem Oil seems to be working and I will spray again this evening. It did help get the current powdery mildew but now more is appearing and I don't want it to spread. It looks like I will need to spray the redbud tree as well. At least is it still small. I also have begun to see what I believe are wolly aphids. I have never encountered them before, sort of cool looking but not welcome. At least they are much easier to see that regular aphids.
I also went out to the garden yesterday around noon and there was a whole family of cardinals that flew out of the garden when I came to the backyard. I figured there would be alot of damage to the tomatoes, not a peck anywhere. So I figure they are eating the bugs. Since I have to take down spiderwebs every morning just to walk between the beds I figure the ecosystem is going well. (Just wish they would say away from the house.
Harvesting about 1 cup of cherry tomatoes each day, the roma's are starting to ripen as well as the yellow and pink tomatoes.
