I think that is Just about it. It sounds like a bunch but my garden is pretty compact.
Oh if anyone knows of good measures against Squash Vine Boring Moths I would be extremely grateful!
I am spraying the root stems with BT spray already.
I'm also trying to grow ananas noir this year, but the seedlings don't seem to be thriving when everything else is. Oh well, you'll have to let me know how it is!
So I started mine indoors under a grow light. I used Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil. Got a large bag from Sams club, https://www.samsclub.com/p/miracle-gro-moisture-control-potting-mix/prod1640077.
I also mixed in a good amount of crushed up eggshells. My Ananas Noir are producing a bunch of tomatoes so far.
Looks awesome! Toothache plants are wild.
When ever I have guests over it's fun to have them try a piece of one of the leaves. Watching their face change brings immense joy lol.
