Resmethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid, a neurotoxin. My advice is don't use it - it's bad for you. Better to have worms than use it. There are organic methods that work better - BT will work. Corn is such a fussy plant and a water hog. I grew it a couple of years and stopped after that - it is a prima donna in the vegetable garden.

It's getting close to canning time. I'm not overrun by tomatoes like some years, the output has been quite modest, because I put the garden in about six weeks late. I'll start crops for fall soon and take up the slack then (new tomato plants - everything else can stay put and keep producing.) I'll get a few pints of diced tomatoes from what is ripe now, and in a week or so the grapes may ripen on the vines across the road (wild mustang grapes). I'll be making some zucchini bread and butter pickles this weekend. I have fought off the vine borers this year, but I think I have enough in good shape to make at least a half-batch of pickles.
