I can't believe how much the stinkbugs have multiplied. They are all over the tomatoes. I thought they would die out with the cooler weather. I have been trying so hard to keep my garden as pesticide-free as possible but I am not winning this war against bugs! I found another great website for gardeners and they recommended that I spray with insectide. Since it's so late in the season, I'll just let the stinkbugs live for now. http://garden.org/pestlibrary/bugs.php?q=show&id=1636 There are only a few hybrid tomatoes left but the cherry tomatoes are still going strong. I harvested a bowl full of cherry tomatoes and a couple of hybrids the other day.
Suprisingly, the chili peppers plants are still producing. I picked enough to fill a quart size bag. They have black spots on some of them but I have not figured out what is causing it yet. They have not affected the taste though. It's still HOT!!!
Now, for my dilemna with the aphids. They just love the long beans. I have tried insectide and hosing them down but nothing. It's only a temporary solution. They just keep coming back. I am tired of dealing with it so I'm just letting them have the beans! I'll have to try something different next year. http://garden.org/pestlibrary/bugs.php?q=show&id=1586
