Pests

Okay, so we've got some pests. I'll include two photos here, of the ones that puzzle me the most.

First we have something i just discovered - little white egg-like things on thin thin stalks - could they be insect eggs?



Also, some white fuzzy stuff on the zucchini leaves. Not sure what it is.

Here's our main veggie patch at the moment, much of it gone to seed. The pumpkin in the furthest corner is growing quickly, but no actual fruit to be seen yet, just flowers.



This patch is very exposed to the sun for most of the day, and we really need some shade plants. In the middle is a dip for a little pond - I keep meaning to pick up some pond liner. However, we've been considering just putting a tree in the middle, which would provide shade.

On the other hand, by the time a tree planted in the middle gets big enough to provide a bit of shade, so would the bamboo we've planted on the western side.

More quiz bowl photos

Got lots of responses over at the Permaculture Research Institute forum, so I'm posting another two photos to provide more clues.






The question seems to be between umbrella tree and mango.

Okay, so here are some of the plants I'm unsure of. If you know them, please leave a comment with suggestions.


First we have some sort of tree, I reckon (but how tall will it get?):




The next two I have been told are papayas (on the right - on the left is the plant in the first photo), but they're slightly different colours. One's just happier in its pot than the other one, perhaps? I intend to plant them in my front garden, but once again, just where I put them depends on how big they get.






Finally, I have these ones in my veggie bed - they mostly came from seedling trays, but I don't remember what they are as we got 200 seedlings and were in a bit of a rush to establish the beds and plant everything out. I think the second last one below is actually an arrowroot - I did get some arrowroot bulbs.











(It's the thin tall green one at the front, I'm wondering about, not the Kale in the background).

Thank you for any advice!
