I have several plants that are under attack by these little guys. They are very small.
This is a watermelon. My pumpkins have been obliterated.
I bought some ladybugs but I'm not sure that is enough. Help!Hibiscus

My hibiscus are blooming like crazy right now. They would not hold still so I only got one photo. A few good plants

I'm not sure I planted these prickly pears right. They're not leaning over like the other species is. I guess that is a good sign. 
No idea what this is. There is a lot of new growth on top.
Again, no idea what this is, but it has doubled in size.Gourd

Does anyone know what these are?
I got them all at once from a friend.

These flowers are very special. 
They are the first cactus bloom I've had in my short gardening career.
Summer annuals
Sunday, August 9, 2009
These heat loving annuals are pretty beat up from the Arizona sun. 
Although the vinca don't seem to mind much.
This is the only lisianthus flower left. I think it is the best one I've seen all summer.
Second bloom

This is the second time this loofah vine has bloomed.
The flowers seem a little different then the first time.
Hope we get some loofahs this time.Veggie Garden

This pumkin should be ready around the middle of October. 
I'm always amazed at the Vinca's ability to take the direct desert sun.
Lily of The Nile

I bought a Lily of the Nile at Home Depot.
Ever since I started gardening I've wanted one of these.
Now if I can just keep it alive.

I found these little guys at Home Depot. 
I couldn't resist the color.
I put them on the north side of my back wall under a dwarf palm for filtered light. Potting Bench
