Potato Beetles, New Door, and a lot of Garlic

Hard to believe there are just under two weeks left in this internship!  It has been flying by, and the garden for the most part looks great.  We had our first pest issue, though, just this weekend, but expect our plants to recover.

 These Colorado Potato Beetles were found in our potato bed over the weekend.  We sprayed with a pesticide approved for organic gardens, and removed all the beetles we could find.  We are hoping that most of the plants that were hit will be able to make a comeback
