CUCUMBER UPDATE
I don't like cucumbers unless they are in Asian dishes or gyro sauce, but I sure know how to grow them.
A few days ago, I posted about a blight. I am battling the humid weather and an extremely nasty pest, the cucumber beetle. I picked a few off the plant. (photo of the beetle taken from the web)
I have had this menace for about 4 years. The cucumbers grow well, I get a harvest or two, then BAM! the plant dies from the leaves being devoured. I tried Sevin, but it's hard to get every leaf.
DDT is not available, so any suggestions?
These are my plants and the recent pickings.
Does anyone want to buy a cucumber?
