Desert Gardening, its hot! my fall is every one else's spring. Trying to follow organic principles, responsible water use and native plants to support a natural healthy lifestyle. I just want to grow my own vegetables, herbs and flowers without destroying anything in the process.

Aphids part Three
They are coming!!! I can not get a handle on these guys. This is my summer squash that has already beat one round with the aphids. I have left it alone but after dousing the armenian cucumber and the regular cucumber this guy got hit again. I do not think the tomato spray did much, it just moved the suckers. So I am not going that route again. This time I have strategically placed some Banana peels under the plant. It has been suggested that the ethylene/ethene gas might ward them off. I do not want to kill them but I just want them to not kill anything else. If you notice the baby squash plant is growing crooked because of those gross buggies.
