Ok I went out to my garden today to take some pictures and found this ugly bug, I think is eating my plants... There was 2 on my squash plant and 1 on my tomato plant.Can anyone tell me what this is?

[splat42069]

I have a few questions about some of my plants...Ok in this pic I'm not quite sure what this is.. I think its a String bean?




And look at this broccoli plant. I had to cut the top off because it started to flower.. On the plant I left some of the flower left, somewhere around here I read if I cut this off side shoots will come out and continue to grow? Is this true, or is the plant ready to be pulled?





Another question I have is whats goin on with the bottom of my bell pepper plant? the bottom leaves turned yellow just in the last 24 hours. So I gave them some fertilizer hopeing that was a good choice.




.And next the pics of the tomatoe plants which are looking awesome if you ask me!











Heres my Bell pepper plants.








Heres the onions....



And last the Squash... Which is also growing like crazy!

How do I make the pictures go straight down instead of allover?

[webmaster]

You have to insert a space between each image instead of pasting them right next to each other. In other words, on your keyboard, hit the ENTER (aka RETURN) button after pasting in the image.

I fixed this issue on another post. I'll fix it on this thread, too.



Best,

Thanks man! I thought this was HTML based or something and tried doin the </br> function. Again thanks!

Any advice on my questions I had?

That first pic looks more like a pea than a string bean to me, but I am fairly new to growing both, so I could easily be wrong. It just looks very similar to the sugar snap peas I have out in my front yard.

Also, I find your plants very comforting after all the southern gardeners planting harvest pictures. I'm all excited today because one of my zucchini plants has the start of a single flower bud. A male flower bud.

I am fidgeting impatiently and resisting the urge to plant more because I am anxious for the first harvests. It is hard. I keep reminding myself that it won't be long for my first fruits, at least.

Thank you Garden girl.. I just looked up pea plants on google and yea they are identicle.. I planted 2 of by seed almost 2 months ago and they were the only 2 things outta 8 plants that sprouted. Back then I didnt lable anything either so I had to guess everything  I need to find out what that bug is eating my plants.. I sprayed some kinda insecticide I got at walmart earlier, hopefully it works.. First time I have seen these things. And to find 3 of them sucking on 3 different plants earlier worries me.

[!potatoes!]

the insect in those photos is a ladybug larvae - it's not eating your plants, but may eat others who have that idea. beneficial.

[splat42069]

yeah thats what they are! they are good to have!? I flicked them off my plants and couldnt find them after that.. LOL oops!

[splat42069]

Ok, I counted atleast 13 Ladybugs laying around my garden.. This is a good thing right? I shouldnt touch them?What do they eat around the garden?

[webmaster]

>>>What do they eat around the garden?

They eat insects that eat your plants.
