Ok, it's official, I just spotted the first squash vine borer adult cruising the garden.
KILL IT!!! I have been spraying spinosad, (as Bulls Eye from Garden's Alive!) This should deter the little buggers, but tonight as the sun goes down I will get out the heavy hitter:
Watch out bugs!
It is supposed to be yummy food for me!!! If these insects weren't so efficient at destroying a plant, I might share, but no way Jose!
Read more about these pests at the Kentucky State Extension web site. (thanks to them for the picture, too!)
As you can see, I like Garden's Alive. I ordered a bunch of insecticides from them. What makes an organic insecticide organic is that it does not linger on the plant, or in the ground. It often breaks down into chemicals that a good for plants. Ahhh! Science!
