Otherwise, without some helpers it can be an overwhelming task.
I’ll make it a point to visit your blog.
Best of luck to you.
Bob

I love the board trick, going to try that out today. You have so much room for growing! I am envious :) 3 75 ft. rows of pumpkin! I have 2 plants haha… 104 square feet total in my back yard with some zucchini, pumpkin, and corn growing.

I see (and neutralize) about 3 cucumber beetles a day. Today was my first squash bug sighting. I think it is a young one. I have not seen their clutch of eggs, I have been looking all over my leaves, paranoid of the little critters and now they are finally here. I did snap a pic so you could see….

Oh wow, I realized how old this post is… kind of like talking to the past, but oh well! Info is info! Thank you so very much. If the story of planting a veggie garden as a complete newbie interests you, come visit my blog :)

I’m still not sure what they found/find so interesting in the garage and the barn. Of course I have squash now, but I still have more of those nasty critters in the barn then in the garden. I will try the board on the ground trick though.

Squash bugs, Japanese beetles, cucumber beetles are all giving me fits. I admit defeat. This year I dusted the beans, only the beans. I lost to many last summer to just let it go.

At least this year I didn’t have the deer and rabbit damage. I got a puppy in Feb. and she’s a good varmint deterrent.
