Author Garden: lil reddish-orange 'n' whitish-gray bugs N soil... ChillnPepper Dream Gardener Member # 8738 posted                       in the veggie garden. They are smaller than a pin head n just bigger than a pin point! I can't tell how many legs they have cuz I can't find my mag-glass!!! They do scurry around a lot tho AND I actually had a red/orange one on my hand n it took two hard pokes with the finger to kill it. Any ideas as to who they may be?

Tomatoes, squash, peppers. Finally, I 86'd the entire project. Am attempting to save squash from project. Pulled peppers out real early on and they seem to be doing well.Am just watching them all to see what finally happens with them. I followed fertilizing directions that I found on U of Georgia website, so all I can figure is that the mix was just too rich or the bales had that Peckeran stuff in them. * * * * "Live simply; expect little, give much...scatter sunshine."

Can't risk for a few more years! LOL! I have not seen them in my garden soil tho....just in those dad-burned hay bales! * * * * "Live simply; expect little, give much...scatter sunshine." M. J.
