Mole crickets and nematodes

This is a hole made by a mole cricket in my greenhouse. 

These 2 mole crickets I have found in one of the pots. The pot had big drainage holes and they followed the water trail and crawled into my pot to eat the plants.  I found 3 other mole crickets in the greenhouse and have applied the nematodes to the soil and to them.
Now these 2 are my control group.

These are the nematodes.

And these are the mole crickets that i applied the nematodes to. Now i wait to see if they are working.

Planted zucchinis

Today I planted the zucchinis. The sprouts were getting too big for the pot so they had to go outside.
I have green zucchini, yellow zucchini and striped zucchini. 4 sprouts for each kind, so we might end up with a lot of zucchinis.

Another mole cricket

Today I found another mole cricket. It was just digging through the drain holes in one of my pots. Good I caught it in time. Now I have it with another 4 in a little bucket waiting to test the nematodes.

Tomato volunteer


This guy came out in the greenhouse. It must be from the tomatoes the previous owner had last year. I wonder what kind of tomato it is. 
For now I moved it outside and covered it with a plastic cloche. I saw a second one in the greenhouse which I'll move also when it gets bigger.
