frd Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Tomatoes. eggplants, peppers and squash all doing great so far. I keep pruning the tomatoe suckers and its working out wonderfully. The lawn soil moisture % is very good, but the heat is preventing it from looking better. Last August trended drier as the month went on, I had a 34 % soil moisture near August 1 st and then it steadily declined to about 19 % by Sept 1 st. Maybe this August will be different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Damn...just realized that I hadn't created this thread like I normally do from year to year. Garden is OK this year. L:eafy vegetables and herbs are doing great and my jalapenos are killer. Tomatoes are less than good. I got them started late and planted them a little later than ideal when they were smaller than I would normally plant them. I'm also noticeably not getting quite as much sun as in years past with neighbors' trees growing really tall and wide at this point, so that certainly can't help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I asked a friend to go harvest while I’m gone and she sent this pic. Obviously, peppers and basil are doing well, but tomatoes are always late for me and just coming on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted Thursday at 10:15 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 10:15 PM Afraid to jinx this, but in addition to fewer cicadas this year, I feel I can confidently say fewer laternflies as well. Especially at work in Greenbelt. Last year they just covered the front of the building on warm days. Only even seen a couple this year there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first year down in Calvert that I've seen lantern flies. Fortunately, the vast majority that I've seen have just been the leftover wings littered on my driveway. Apparently the birds find them tasty, which means I think the threat of them is somewhat overblown, luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article recently that implied that they initially establish heavily in an area for a couple of years and then begin to die off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a ton of nymphs last month but far fewer adult flies. Obvious assumption is that something figured out they were good eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
