The Clark Family Fun

Here are a few pics of our growing garden. The white stuff on cherry tomatoes are drawstring organza bags which protect the fruit from fruit flies. We have learned so much about bugs here! Summer has been challenging but I can honestly say that we won the war on bugs. Even without chemical control. We found neem oil to be very effective against white cabbage butterflies as well as  old bug picking off the leaves and "night hunt" for slugs with a jug of salt - something the kiddos really like to do.  Gardening is fun, a lot of work, but so much fun and so rewarding! So bear with me! A few pick of harvest food bellow! yukon gold potatoes in the very back, green and purple beans, kale, eggplant and tomatoes preparing a rock bed for yams and local purple sweet potatoes the other side of our garden, lots of tomatoes, sunflowers and kabocha squash patch harvesting beans monkeys under banana patch we found this set off craigslist kids love it!
