Bolting of #greens and #colecrops usually ends your #season. Try using shade cloth to maintain cooler temperatures.

Wildflowers home many beneficial insects, such as #ladybeetles (ladybugs), their #larvae devouring #aphids, and tiny parasitoid #wasps preying on #stinkbugs and #armyworms. They're (unpaid) #pestcontrol agents at work.

If you use #manure, apply it several weeks or even months before #planting and work it well into the soil.

Cold composting is a much less labor-intensive but more lengthy process, taking three months or longer.

-Half green
-Half brown

A pile with too much green= smell; a pile with too much brown will= longer break down.

Disease pathogens are naturally always present in the air and soil. These pathogens become problematic only when all elements of the pest triangle are present.

Solarizing Common garden weed Groundsel, involves leaving a clear plastic tarp on the soil surface for 4 to 6 weeks during the hottest part of the year. Soil solarization works well in warm growing areas and may be ineffective in foggy, low-light, or low-temperature areas.

If you have kept plants well-picked, but #fruit set has stopped, suspect hot weather. Fruit set will begin again about 10-14 days after the #temperature stays below 85-90 degrees.

To discourage #soilborne pests, avoid planting the same crop, or crops from the same plant family, in the same place two years in a row. For example, a four-year rotation could include tomatoes, corn, legumes, and squash.⁣
