June 1 2009 SFG 004

Video take June 1, 2009 of my SFG showing some of my vegetables and how they are coming along so far this year. This is my first year doing a SFG and it really is a pleasure watching how everything grows. The only issues I have had so far are a few pests, like cabbage loop worm, eating on some of my broccoli and cauliflower leaves but I dusted them and picked off the pest and so far so good. I also learned that you must use homemade aphid spray sparingly. I used Murphy soap, vegetable oil and water to spray on some of my squash and green bean plants, and I think I used too much because it ended up burning the leaves and some of the buds on my squash and zuchinni plants. Next year, I will know better and just dust them with garden pest dust. Other than those issues, my sfg is doing splendid.
