Hello Gardeners,
Some identification photos: Last week I forgot to send identification photos with my note about squash bugs and Japanese beetles. Here are some links to help identify them if you have them in your plot. There are also some good tips here about how to manage them. Please remember that if you garden anywhere in Eagle Heights and in the organic section of University Houses you must use only organic gardening methods to deal with pests.

Fence etiquette: If you have climbing plants, please make sure they stay in your plot and don’t climb over your neighbor's fence or into their plot.
Parasitic wasps: We released the parasitic wasps to combat the bean beetles last week. There haven't been signs of them flying around yet, but hopefully we will see them soon.
Tools: Please don’t take tools from another gardener’s plot to use in your garden. If you garden at Eagle Heights, you need to have your own hose to water your garden. The hoses at University Houses are shared, and both gardens have a large selection of tools for everyone to use.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
