Bed B - Autumn

Analysis based on my observations relating to the impact of autumn on the plants in the garden is as follows:
"Autumn weather provides less energy for warm-weather plants at a time when they start to need it most.  Over the last six months, most plants have grown into mature food-producing adults and require energy to sustain this state.  When this is not provided plants, protective mechanisms seem to become less effective, and since they have good supplies of food, they become easy targets for hungry pests." 

Bed B illustrates this observation very well. (See the video below).

Controlling stink bugs

Stink bugs pierce the tissue of plants extracting the juices by sucking mouthparts.  Damage is inflicted on plants through feeding, and the infested fruit develops hard calluses around the feeding area. 
If the fruit is young, when stink bugs invade, they deform subsequent growth and leaves become distorted or scorched.
Handpicking before a widespread infestation will disrupt the reproductive cycle when stink bugs appear, reducing population growth.
Because stink bugs release their unpleasant scent when crushed, I prefer to drown them.
In addition, spraying plants with soapy water is a practical method of controlling a stink bug infestation.  When a stink bug becomes coated with soap, the surface membranes of the exoskeleton are impaired, causing them to drown easily in the spray.  I added neem oil to the soapy water mix and removed infected leaves.
