Last season was a success! This was my first time farming on my small piece of land in crop rows. It was a lot of work, but as you can see in the pictures, it paid off. There's no better feeling than being able to produce your own vegetables. The pictures you see were from the first of many harvests. The vegetable selection included zucchini's, cherry tomatoes, onions, corn and tomatillo. The soil must have been very fertile because all I used was the basic Miracle Grow product found in any hardware store and water. Problems I experience with sweet corn was the fall armyworm. At harvest time, I was not aware of such insects until I realized more than half of my harvest was lost due to this worm. I thought I was going to have a pesticide free garden, but I was wrong. I think I will have to use a small amount of pesticide to prevent insects from destroying my crops. I wonder if there's any safe pesticides I can use? Any ideas? My grandmother used to spray soap with water on the leaves, but I'm not sure if that worked...
