Grrrrr.....Aughhhh...Cucumber beetles have invaded our vegetable garden for the first time ever. They are munching on the leaves and stems of mostly the cucumber and squash plants, although I think they are also attracted to all the plants. So, I watched a gardening video and this guy said that the beetles are attracted to the color yellow. We bought 6 yellow frisbees and put soapy water in them to hopefully attract the beetles.
It is working to some degree, but I am also going out each day and trying to smoosh as many beetles as possible. We have the striped cucumber beetles, and there are hundreds of them! At this rate, I may not get any veggies this summer. Time will tell. So depressing...
