Go to Lowe's and get a bee balm plant. Plant it in a pot next to your garden, not in it. That stuff spreads.

How’s everyone’s plants doing with all this wind?

I have a little bit of leaf damage on a couple of pepper plants, but they have held up for the most part.

Also, got home to this


I dropped 3 seeds per hole and have at least 1 cucumber sprout in each. Still waiting on the beans.

That's good info for most of the hardy herbs. Both Mexican and Greek oregano took over a whole 4' planter last year and has overwintered like a champ. I had to relegate them to pots to keep them somewhat under control.

We decided to just stick with bush type and determinate tomatoes this year. Probably just doing peppers and tomatoes this year. I gave up on squash. WAY too many squash borers in my area. I'm lucky to get 3 or 4 squash before they eat the plants alive.
