the porch of death returns?


my plants are actually growing surprisingly well. the cucumbers (above) are getting tall and sending out "feelers" to latch onto the chicken wire that is up around the porch (to keep sanford from killing himself as a puppy). some of the bok choy are also getting quite large, and starting to resemble bok choy in how new leaves are growing in!


however, something is burrowing INSIDE the leaves. not on top or underneath, literally inside. i don' t know what it is, but i was able to find a little orange worm-like bug still in a leaf and "pop" it out like a pimple. not sure what to do, other than continue to spray insecticidal soap on them every week or so and hope the plants are healthy enough to beat whatever is feeding on them..
