Woodlice, round 2

I have started watering the corn in the mornings, about 10-15 minutes, after removing the wheat straw.  It is working extremely well.  I already have most of the corn shoots up, and several bean shoots are there as well.  I never could find the squash seed packets, so I just bought some plants and planted them. 

I noticed more holes in the potato leaves, so I tried my yeast trick again.  Boil 2 packets of yeast in some water, and then pour it into tin cups which are submerged in the ground, with the lip at ground level.  The woodlice are attracted to it, go over, fall in, and die.  Well, I put those out, and my curiosity got the best of me last night at about 10:15 pm.  I took a flashlight, went and looked, and noticed 1 potato plant COVERED in woodlice, from top to bottom.  I managed to grab a lot of them off, and knock the rest off.  Those little pests.  So, it appears those are the major problem.

I went to Tara's house and got to see the meat chickens!  That was very cool, and after hearing how virtually silent they were, I wonder if anyone would really notice if I had them next year, if I kept them out of view of neighbors.  They might be able to smell them, though.  Hm...something to think about for the next 8 months or so.

I also started "restoring" the old window-panes I got at a flea market.  They'll be used late this year and early next year for cold frames.  They're looking pretty neat :-)

Other than that, not too much news.

After inspecting the plants today (I really should have been paying more attention over the last few days), I have a myriad of problems.  Several plants have holes eaten through the leaves - the potatoes and cowpeas are the worst off.  I'm not really sure what to do, but I had heard I can spray with a detergent/water combination.  Dang pests.

The lettuce is looking good still....well, one lettuce plant anyways.  I'm not sure what caused the drastic difference in production between all of them, but I know one of the causes was the sun/shade.

The tomatoes are still wilting, though I watered them quite a bit last night and this morning.  It's not even that hot!?  I'll keep giving them lots of water in the mornings before work to help them start perking back up, but so far it's not looking great.

The cucumbers and green beans are starting to sprout really well.  The nasturtiums are about 2-3" tall.  Everything else is doing pretty well, also.

Hopefully I can still save some of this :-\
