I have a vegetable garden. I am really hoping it can survive all the rain we have had. I am having a problem with something eating my watermelon plants and my eggplants. (Some type of bug). Does anyone have any idea what I might spray them with?

Lettuce, radishes, green onions, green beans, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini, sweet onions, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Oh yea, pears and peaches too!
We didn't get the first thing out of our garden last year...spring drowning immediately followed by a scorching drought. I have never seen as many bad bugs as last year, but hopeful it won't happen again!! I need to can, can can!!

I haven't even been up to my garden yet. Too much rain. I usually plant tomatoes, swiss chard, spinach, lettuce and zuccini. I haven't decided what else to plant yet. Last year my garden got so overgrown with squash that I don't think I will plant that this year. Will have to wait and see.

I've had a garden every year since I was a little girl. This year will be no exception and I hope the tomatoes grow better this year. It rained all of April and was cold then it got hot and stayed that way with no rain most of the summer. I'm starting seeds today. We can't plant until after the first of June so I should have nice seedlings by then.
