I've had my fair share of pests this year. I still haven't caught any raccoons, although I haven't had any more problems with them either.
My newest pest is the Tomato Hornworm. I found one chewing a bald stalk of a pepper plant, and then 3 more on the actual tomato plants. Fortunately, I have one big tomato plant and that's where they were. I picked the buggers off and haven't seen any more.
My tomatoes are funny this year. I have one HUGE plant that is being supported by a broom stick, in the far corner of my east garden, and then 4 little plants that are producing, but not a lot. My Big Boy is growing a beautiful tomato. Emphasis on a. There's just one. And the plant is small, I don't know how it's going to support itself! Many tomatoes are starting, and the waiting for them to blush is hard as the whole garden is a bummer this year.
I also harvested all my yukon gold potatoes, and some reds. They were small so I left the rest of the reds to grow a little. We had a mixed potato meal last night and it was SOOOO good.
