I believe it's leafhopper larvae. My plants get them all the time. But the treatment is the same for mealies.
Thanks for the heads up! I would love to get some lemon verbena.
I live over near greenshoes @ 51st Ave and Cactus. But my commute is down 7th Ave to downtown. Perhaps I can act as a connector?
As far as what I have, it's not much right now. Just some swiss chard and chile peppers. Tomatillos should be starting…

It was really tasty! Reminds me a little of green tea ice cream.
Next time, I would not skimp on the heavy cream though. Using less fat made it freeze rock solid. So if I want some, I have to take it out of the freezer 20 minutes in advance, so it…
hmmmm looks good how was it. I recently picked up some lemon basil jelly in Iowa that was wonderful

At least some of my plants like the heat
The melons and cucumbers are going crazy. Especially the melons. The cuke plants are getting HUGE and blooming, but I'm not seeing any product.
The Charentais melon, on the other hand...

Now look at it as of this morning (Monday):
Whoa.

No 'Poo
I'm goin' for it.
In the mustard bottle, "shampoo" : 1 Tbsp baking soda.
I fill the bottle with water in the shower. Give it a good shake, and apply to the roots. Massage it in, and rinse out.

My "vacation" day
Monday I had a doctor's appt mid-day, so I just took the whole day off.
6:00 am
First thing, I hit the gym. When I got home, I folded the bread dough that I had prepared the night before, and hit the showers.
8:00 am
All sparkly clean, I did some graphic design work, and then pre-heated the oven. I finished the baking and MM MM it smelled good.
I'm not much of a baker, but… Continue

Disaster.
Just yesterday, I was telling everyone how great it was that this plants is producing.
Alas, I got home last night, and the whole thing was on the ground. The plant was crushed under the basket, and its main stem is broken in three places.
Desperate, I duct taped it.
Yup.
Duct tape.
If by some miracle the thing survives, it'll be definitive proof that duct tape truly can fix anything.

- Great page and photos.
Thanks for your interest with my shade sail offer. Your photo is a big aid in my assisting you.
I can most certainly do everything you ask with your dimensions.
A few thoughts:
A sail exactly like you asked is $50
I can design a tension system that will stretch the fabric tighter for an additional $5 dollars per corner.
2) make a webbing strap corners that you can loop on the top of your brick caps with one corner utilizing a cinching mechanism to tighten the hemmed edge.
Give me a call! 727-479-4440
