I had bumper crops of apricots, cherries, peaches and apples this year. My plum tree didn’t do well. The pear tree had a bumper crop last year, but this year, I have just a few pears. My tomatoes did well. Later I had some freebie tomatoes that came up and they are doing great, too. I had only one zucchini squash that made to my kitchen. Vine borers and squash bugs killed the rest. Herbs and peppers did well. Strawberry plants did not produce well. Raspberries produced, black berries did not. Potatoes did well, too. Leafy greens in the Green Stalks are doing great. Japanese beetles were on the trees mostly with a few on my okra. I would carry a small bucket of water around to my plants and tap the plant and they would fall into the water so I could kill them. I will be trying the bucket trap for the Japanese beetles next year. Thanks to everyone for their posts. Helpful information!

We are in Howard County, Missouri. I have been watching your videos a long time. You guys just popped up in my feed and have followed you ever since. I love to learn gardening from you but your porch time talks are very important, too. I would like to win the water pitcher. Also, thank you for creating all of this for us.
