The summer is here and in Gainesville that means a lot of
rain, a lot of sun, and a lot of bugs. Pests start to creep up in the hot humid
Summer season and wreak havoc on my plants that already struggle in the heat
for water. Snails especially, eat away at my hardworking leaves and stems. This
week we learned about disease control as well as pest control. To combat the
increase in critter life my family have utilized general pest control around
the house to keep the bugs outside. While my brother and I use other methods
such as the mixture used in class to keep bugs and ailments away from our
garden. We didn’t expect disease to be a problem in our garden as making
remedies is easy. Other than that, I’ve been keeping my celery propagate
healthy and growing, while my lettuce seedlings have yet to germinate. I might
need to get more peat pellets and grow them in there. In the meantime, I hope
my garden continues to grow as I get closer to the end of the semester. And
that slugs and bugs stay away from my plants as they grow into fruiting time.
