Hello Woo family! Sorry to be late. We went out and had lunch with some friends today. It’s beautiful here in Montana, but I am sure that we will feel the effects of the storm at some point soon.

Hello Woo family! Sorry to be late. We went out and had lunch with some friends today. It’s beautiful here in Montana, but I am sure that we will feel the effects of the storm at some point soon. I pulled out the last of my pumpkins and gave them away to my neighbors. All of my vines had gotten frost damage this last week. Beware of the Killer Karen’s, they don’t understand what is happening in their world right now! Love you all!
Hi Suzy. I'm getting tons of tomatoes! But my house is full of fruit flies. I hate them. I sit in the dark on my puter and they fly in front of the monitor. About an hour ago a squadron of three of them went by in formation.
Put some honey and vinegar in a glass and cover it with plastic then punch a few holes in the plastic. Small holes so they can’t get back out. I hate them too and this doesn’t get rid of all but most. Keep tomotoes in those plastic containers you buy tomato like things in which also helps. At least it helped us.
We signed up for FLFE this year and we’ve had an astronomical crop of everything. Also we had three trees uprooted and they were near the house. They all fell toward the creek in the zone the city is required to keep up. I give FLFE credit for that too because it’s an unlikely coincidence. Just my opinion
I built layered gardens, more experiments. I have one cherry tomato plant, if you can call it that, they're smaller, but it's like King Kong, it's massive. In building the gardens I put rotten logs in the bottom, had some nice compost, added ash, ground up leaves, charcoal, peat moss, zebra mussel dust, manure from a 10 year old pile, I think that's it, and now I have a mess because the plants are so huge I that I fear I planted them too close together. This is how we learn.
Nothing scientific about fruit flies. They like sugar like every living thing and they aren’t too bright. A little Plastic is too much for them. Now the flies on the other hand have grown so damn smart. If I pick up a swatter ( I would never hit one😉) they are long gone.
They buzz me constantly when I’m working with food. When I’m finally fed up and dry my hands and sneak over to the back of the door, quietly take the swatted off the coat hook, boom, they’re off and I don’t see them for hours. They go hide in the bathroom. Smartasses I say.

They are mocking me.

Working on living soil.
Put out several small glasses of beer and or wine with a drop of dish soap in it. They will drown. I also put the clear fly strips on the windows.
I have sugar water out. sometimes I use honey water. Sometimes they work great, sometimes they don't. Maybe I need to be more scientific about it.

They do seem to know when you have a fly swatter in your hand.

Ugh can’t take obvious torture. It has to be hidden.
Ur never too late
