Remember I really praised molasses to kill slugs and other soft belly critters? Well it doesn’t kill little black, beattle like critters, with red and yellow spots. All of a sudden, overnight, my squash all died. I went out the next
day to pick more squash...nothing, nada. Not a squash baby in sight, just dead vines. When I pulled up the roots along came these tiny “pretty looking” beatles, and they run deep. I dug down about 8 or 9 inches and those things were still running around. I’m taking some to our trusty
feed store fellow and see what he suggests. We’re discovering more creatures. Gardening is interesting.
Gardening is interesting, rewarding, and demoralizing. C’est la vie.
