Found and killed this little jerk today. Didn’t see any eggs, but sprayed the base of all my squash/zucchini plants with neem oil nonetheless. These jackholes destroyed my squash and zucchini crops last year, and I’m determined not to let it happen again.

In contrast to yesterday’s squash vine borer discovery, today was an exceptionally encouraging day in the garden: we received rain here for the first time in nearly two weeks, discovered that one of my cherry tomato plants (super sweet 100) has over a dozen little tomatoes, harvested the first squash of the season, and also had the first basil harvest, which netted a colander full. My wife made some yummy pesto for dinner with it, and we had enough to freeze a decent bit as well.

Glad for you. Is it me but does pesto have a strong anise flavor?
