In 1980 was my first try at a garden. We put in some potatoes. One day I went outside and our front sidewalk was completely black. Taking a closer look we discovered they were potato bugs marching towards our potato patch. :-(. Never tried gardening much after that other then a few tomato plants and some zucchini and jalapenos. Don't do any now, but thinking of maybe a tomato plant or two this year.

Potato beetles killed every single one of our potato plants last year. Surprisingly though, when we were digging up the garden at the end of the season, there were lots of potatoes left in the ground. Small ones. So if the plants had lived, we would have had more potatoes than we could deal with! We didn’t even get a chance to cover up the growing plants with more dirt.
I hate garden bugs!
