Hello! 👋

[@christinam.hankins6630]

Squash bugs killed our entire squash crop this spring ugh! Next year we will do a fall crop and see if that works better! Can’t wait to see the fruits of your labor!

So far all of our broccoli Is being eaten by something. 😂 Cabbage is thriving though!

I love that your dad said he was watching a tape 😂 what a different time we live in now. Keep up the great videos Katie!

[@KatieZornes]

😂 It is so crazy to think about how fast everything has moved, including all our lives. 🙂 Thanks for watching! Hope you’re doing well. 🤗

That water saber thing is very appealing. I love the mist. Hope the fall garden is a hit!! My family grew broccoli one season and it was so full of little green worms that it had to be soaked in salt water to float them out prior to cooking. I remember chewing it only partially and then swallowing with gulps of water because I was afraid I would bite into a worm. Much of it ended up being left to blossom into yellow broccoli bouquets. 😆

Also, I happened to be eating broccoli and cauliflower when I watched this, and when you showed the squash bug, I almost gagged. 😆

[@KatieZornes]

Oh my gosh. So sorry. 🥴

[@KatieZornes]

I’m not holding my breath. 😂 I love this story, no matter how much it disturbed you as a child. 😁

Were you successful with the fall brassicas? I've been trying to grow them in MO for a few years. My spring cabbages look good. If I get heads it will be a first time.

[@KatieZornes]

Hi! Fall…not so much. I got some pretty ones this spring but my cabbages won’t grow heads!

[@camillereed3292]

@@KatieZornes II used fish fertilizer and mulched with grass clippings on my 90 day cabbages. Heads growing but need a couple weeks still.
