Something has been nibbling at my basil and sage. My cilantro is TALL! And in flower. The parsley is next to it looking nice and bushy; but the cilantro shot up instead of out.
I trimmed a bunch of leaves from all 3 of my tomato plants tonight. They are in the buckets on the patio. All last week was gloomy, humid and then rainy. I'm hoping it's simply over watering. I'm starting to get tomatoes on all 3 of them!
I'm also finding yellowing and drooping leaves on the summer squash plants.
I snipped one low like my Grandfather suggested and no sign of a borer. Last year something similar happened and I lost my plants. They are starting to produce too; but nothing for harvesting yet. My beans are growing too. The cukes are starting to vine and flower too.
When I lifted one leaf on the summer squash to look at the yellow one directly under it I did notice a TON of ants on the leaf! It was about the size of my hand and it must have had 20 ants on it. We have tons of ants in the yard; but I thought they were good for gardens? Could they actually be part of my garden problems?
