Your vegetables look great. My tomatoes and peppers are growing well, but there are insect that eat holes in some of my leaves here too. I wonder which are those insects, I cannot spray the plants with chemicals.

@JudyEv I tried, but it did not work, the hot sauce burned some leaves.

Maybe you could make an organic spray. Or trying companion planting.

Isn't it nice when you can harvest your own fruits or vegetables to eat. I don't know about you, but it always makes me feel better when I can grow and harvest my own food.

@JudyEv It's also nice to know the food is safe and free from pesticides, insecticides and fungicides (assuming you don't use all that stuff when growing). Backyard gardens are the ultimate in organic food!

It probably satisfies some ancient survival instinct to grow your own food. Certainly, it's a good feeling.

Lovely little garden. You may like to try a concoction of garlic and hot sauce in a water bottle. Spray your plants with it to keep the nasty bugs from eating your plants. I have a few plants in pots and some in the ground. Hoping the groundhog doesn't eat them. Planted beans in 2 window boxes, tomatoes, acorn squash, zucchini, yellow squash, and lettuce. I have to add more seed to the lettuce box though. Getting very little of it. With the lack of rain, and now lack of sun, my little garden looks a little pathetic. Hoping that it takes of soon.

@cherriefic It isn't really hard. You just plant the seedlings and watch them grow. From time to time, I pull out the weeds from around them.

Your veggies definitely look good.

I ordered and got some organic seeds online. I will soon be back to growing veggies that stopped as I was out of seeds in lockdown. First I have to exercise my muscles and clean those post of weeds that have grown during this period.

Insects eating holes in the leaves is probably not a good sign. Fresh Lettuce is good, so well done on that. Parsley, another great thing to grow, along with Rosemary and Thyme. Never mind lol, nah, you will get it. Enjoy the fun times ahead.
