My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

first year gardening

18 years ago

This is my first year gardening and I have learned alot. I've been fighting squash bugs, tomato worms, and something got my corn. My watermelons seems to be doing really well and my question is what pest do I need to watch out for? I keep expecting to go out there and find my watermelons destroyed! Is there anything that is a threat to melons and is there something I can do to prevent it?
