I have used a small soft bristle paint brush before. It kinda mimics the hair on bees that the pollens sticks to.

Here’s a few pics I took before the storm yesterday.

Roma’s


Cayenne. These are really starting to produce. The plants are very healthy.


Cajun Belle. Also starting to take off.


California Wonder. If you look at the top of the pic you can see a couple of bare stems. Squirrels got to it.


Celebrity plants. Making lots of blooms. Same with the Better Boys (on the stakes to the left), but they are lagging a little in growth compared to the Celebrity and Roma’s.


All of the Cajun Jewel okra have sprouted.

Knock on wood and all, but I have a ton of squirrels in and around my yard (oak trees on all three sides) and I've yet to have the furry little bastards mess with my garden.

The worst thing they do is sit on my deck and taunt my cats through the window.

First time growing beans in my raised garden. They are in one raise bed by themselves. They look okay but the leaves are more yellow than my tomatoes and corn in neighboring raised bed. Would a little high nitrogen fertilizer help or be harmful?
