It's HOT outside! The thermometer in my backyard said 108*f today.

Let's talk about watering your garden. What time of day do you water your garden?

The rule is always water your garden when the sun isn't shining. This helps prevent sunscald on your plants. Sunscald is damage to the leaves because the sun burned them after being magnified through the water droplets. Damaged plants are stressed. Stressed plants are more likely to be attacked by pests. Protect your plants by watering after the sun goes down!

I personally water my garden several times a week, with a sprinkler, for about an hour. I like to give my plants a good deep soaking. As the summer goes on the frequency of watering will increase to daily.

Below is a picture of some of our peppers in gallon pots that are being bottom watered. That just means that the pot is setting in a tray of water and is soaking it up from the bottom. This is a great way to encourage deep roots.

We have been trying new things in our garden this year. A new to us veggie is Asparagus Beans. They grow 18 inch bean pods that resemble green beans and are heat hardy. I'm loving the look of their flowers. Orchid like purple flowers. What new to you veggie are you growing this year?

Friend Alert!

Count yourself lucky if your garden is blessed with bumblebees! Not only are they fantastic pollinators, they protect your garden from some pests! Beware they can be possessive of their area while they are working. Give them their space and they'll leave you alone.

Friend Alert!

These scary looking ant-like critters are Assassin Bug Nymphs. They are a beneficial insects in your garden that help keep out pests like aphids. They're fierce little teenagers and can bite a human if provoked. Give them their space and let them protect your produce!

Have you seen one of these in your garden? Congratulations on meeting your new bestie! I know this little critter looks fierce (and they are to aphids) but they are a gardeners dream. This is a lady bug larva and they eat aphids by the hundreds! Aphids are a particularly bothersome pest to all our vegetable plants here in NTX so leave the lady bug larva to do its job and be sure to thank it for its services in your garden.
