I want to grow them! I hope it's not too late in the season to plant them though though :S For sure next year I'll grow them. And I may still give it a whack this year.

In the morning try to spray them off with water (both sides of the leaves) or just smush 'em. You could try to use those sticky flypaper strips on or near your stakes. I know there are some sprays you can use too, but make sure that they are safe for vegetable plants before you spray. I've always wanted to try ladybugs too, but don't know how bad your bug issues are. They will take off if there isn't enough food and water for them to drink. I'm going to have to try the cranberry beans. Which is the best way to start? Soup or sauce? Hey Kim, sounds like you may have white flies.

One of my projects this summer is to grow something on my back, maybe too shaded, deck. Can you tackle herbs next? Kim, I am loving this series of yours!
