@@CaliKim29 our problem is that we live in studio city. So although our condo has doubled in value, if we sell, we can’t get a house in this neighborhood.

I am going to try sonic stakes next. They are scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I harvesteed a bunch of mustard greens yestrday. I'll get another harvest in about three weeks, maybe chard too.

@1GenXPatriot 3 ай бұрын

I’ve heard it’s best to spray late afternoon evening after the bees retire for the day. 😊

@CaliKim29 3 ай бұрын

You are correct, it's generally recommended to spray pesticides or other chemicals on plants in the late afternoon or evening after bees have finished foraging for the day. Additionally, many pesticides are less effective when applied during the hottest part of the day because they can evaporate quickly or degrade in the sunlight. Hope this helps!! GREAT WORKAROUND!!! K
