Strange happenings in my vegie garden - groovyjoker - 07-17-2006
This has been a strange year for my vegie garden in Washington state.
Anyone in my area having problems with their peas or beans this year? I did not think I was overwatering, but my peas produced well and then BAM, started dying. The fruit became hard before dying (hard to remove from the stem). Strange.
I also found 'dodder' in my spinach. Dodder is a parasitic plant that spreads yellow disease.
Finally, I sure have a lot of leafhoppers this year.
I am wondering if any of this could be related to my compost? Or does this all sound like natural things I should expect?
