November update

Harvest arugula, lettuce and green beans yesterday. The other bean plants stopped growing and I pulled them up and noticed minor root-knot nematode damage.


The tomatoes in the buckets are looking good overall, even with the whitefly infestation. It's amazing to see how much they've grown in just a month.

I added marigolds to the 18-gallon buckets as companions to the larger variety tomatoes.

I bought 1,500 ladybugs from Amazon, hoping they'd eat the whitefly nymphs and aphids, most flew away by the second day but it was an interesting experience nonetheless.
