June 13-18 i discovered some little bugs called cucumber beetles, there are black and green with stripes on there back.

they are eating my lettuce,squash and even my cucumber plants ! I hope we find out a way to get rid of them.

June 16-29, we put down some cucumber beetle traps,the traps have killed most of the beetles.

on the 27 we finally put some straw down on our gardens, to eliminate the bugs and the weeds.

I am still watering everyday because of the 90 degree weather.

June 30-July 9 This whole week we watered,weeded put more straw down and also put some horse tea fertilizer down on our gardens.
