I like the growth structure of your plants, in my mind natural growth is more appealing. I noticed some ladybugs, are they the seven spotted ladybug?

I used nematodes for gnats, I had so many gnats I was using a vacuum cleaner to suck them up. Went to the nursery and got some nematode eggs, the nematodes acted quickly once they hatched. I was very surprised how quickly the gnats were gone.You know I’m not sure. But some are from here over the winter and most I ordered with some nematodes.

We have a local turnip here that is grown in sandy loam in areas with large populations of Locust trees. I’m not sure the soil is the only variable making the Eastham turnip so sweet. The genetic history of the Eastham turnip is less mysterious than haze for example. One theory is a rutabaga was crossed within the local turnip by someone in Westport MA (?)The sweet flavor is due to the low amount of sulfur in the soil in which the onions are grown.
(Edit)What types have you gone through?It’s Interesting and hard to verify. After all these years searching for the true haze or true Thai I am beginning
Just like we domesticated marijuanawhat old fruits and vegetables looked like before we domesticated them. that watermelon pic was found on a old painting. some serious selective breeding at work larger fruits and seedless
