What would you ask?

If Granny Clampett was a real person what would you ask her? My burning question is: how do you get rid of earwigs? Slugs are rather gross, yes, but I get grossed out by earwigs. My back yard has a zillion fallen apples on its grass right now. I don't use pesticides so yes they are wormy. I chopped the best parts of some that had nice red stripes on them anyway and filled a stockpot three quarters full. They will cook down and later hubby will use the Foley food mill to churn out applesauce, I also drowned way too many earwigs and also was mean enough to sprinkle clorox on them. I can stand snakes, frogs, some slugs and some rodents but nope on earwigs. The photo is mine. It should show a junior Hubbard squash plant.

My question would be is how to have the perfect garden like what is shown in magazines. (With no rot).

@LeaPea2417 That's a good one: a magazine ready weed free garden. Wouldn't that be a kick? And maybe boring?

I hate earwigs too!! I guess my question would be do you really like cooking up all that gross stuff and eating it?

@kareng I've been eating mostly vegetarian these days. I find it interesting which animals are our friends and which are our dinner and which animals gross some folks out.

I can’t take bugs. Earwigs give me the creeps though.

@AmbiePam Earwigs are kind of prehistoric looking.

I also prefer free pesticide vegetables. We grow vegetables at the backyards and never spray pesticides

I used to love growing pumpkins. I tried a mini one here but it was a disaster. I must try again as they keep for ages if you get a good crop.

@JudyEv I love to watch squash grow. Its fun to speculate how large the squash will get to be.

@sallypup These plants seem to grow as you watch them.

I do not know what I would ask. Maybe how she keeps her aprons so clean looking. These new "High Efficiency" washers do not clean worth a durn as she would say.
