Only my second vegetable garden...

17 years ago

Not sure how much help I can get without pictures but I will try anyway. This is my second year planting vegetables. I moved into my new house in Dec. so this will be the first year planting vegetables in the ground for me. (Last year, I built a raised bed for the vegetables at my old house). I have a huge garden with very fertile soil. Planted squash, corn, okra, tomatoes, watermelon, and canteloupe. I grew squash last year with great success. I have a good many squash plants that are only about 5 - 6 inches tall right now. The problem is on most of the plants, the new leaves have some of what looks like bite marks from an insect on them. I've consistently checked the plants for bugs and have never really seen anything on the squash plants. (last year I had a real problem with squash bugs but that is not what this is). So, I'm not sure if the leaves are being eaten or if they have some kind of deficiency...I know its hard to tell me without pics...maybe I can get some tonight.

Also - the leaves aren't as green as my plants last year. That goes for my okra too. They aren't yellow, but I would say light green.
