@diffusinglife -- Thanks. I haven't gotten around to even planting flowers this year. Poor things are still in their flats waiting.

enjoying this-- and at the end, liked the glimpse at your house yard... with the sweet little flower window planter!

@exiagundamit -- Naw -- it's not that big of a garden. : ) Unfortunately, our list of projects is waaaay too long right now as it is. LOL. But I will say, those with the drip systems seem to have really healthy plants. I DO think it's a better system of watering. Maybe someday. . . . sigh.

Time to add drip irrigation. Get the 1/2 inch tubing, a timer, vegetable garden kit, and a pressure regulator. I'd say 50-60$ total, saves you time on hand watering, and keeps the plants happy and well watered.
pick the japanese beatles and mix them in a blender with water and spray them back on the plants . this always worked for me

@bernie018 -- you are the second person who has recently suggested using ground up insects as a deterrent!
Hmmm . . . . As I told the other person, I may be scoping out the Spring garage sales for a good used blender.

for the south side i just suggest plnting more lavender, or some lemon grass with it would be wonderful!

@gelflingfaysuzanne -- Lemon grass is supposedly a big bee attractant, and I LOVE lavender (another bee favorite).

What sort of insect control do you use? I wanted to go organic this year, and did mostly, but the beetles were horrible!

@twomiracles -- squashing by hand (LOL), for the cabbage moths, BT (Bacillus thuringiensis ) and for the Japanese beetles which are HORRIBLE this year, we are trying out beetle traps which seem to be doing a pretty good job. I am still looking for something for the squash bugs -- they totally killed off my squash vines (but not before I got quite a few squash). I am thinking I will have to come up with a way to cover them next year, , that's going to be a challenge with a spreading vine.
