Good Neighbors and Whitefly

Everyone likes to have them, it makes life so much more pleasant. We are lucky that Wey and his seed company Magnum Seeds are the best. I was delivering some seed to them last week when Wey asked me how much summer squash seed we would need for next year. Wey likes to think that the seed he gives us tests his seed in the riggers of organic farming. He can often be seen walking our fields looking at how well his varieties are doing. I like to remind him of the time he was furious when his prized summer squash variety was covered in whitefly bugs. He blamed it on me, unfortunately for him ours of exactly the same variety was completely bug free. We all enjoyed his frustration, especially his coworkers. For next year Wey has a very dark green zucchini, the grey Mexican squash, yellow squash and this flat round one in the picture.
