I was told today, if I wanted to keep squash bugs off my plants I should put some watermelon rine at the base of my plants after I
Squish the eggs on the leaves.
Has anyone tried this? Does it work? And if so how?
Thanks
Don still hangin in there after 115 degrees highest temp in this area...
You can do it, we know you can..my DW can sew anything, but she will not make me a shirt :idunno
Don still :watering it's another hot one, the weather guesser today at noon upper it to 109 from a cool 107
Ours are about 10 inches tall and growing like crazy, it seems like we only planted a couple of weeks ago.. When we Put it in the ground we had like 122 days to the first frost and the package said 90 to 110 so we went for it.
Don it's 107 right now this is the 20th day in a row over 100
I think my squash plants were speaking squastnees as none of the other bugs came to help, I know that I planted some carrots that I got from a guy in Greece, so maybe my squash came from another country also... ;)
Don still :watering and hoping for some relief soon
That is one nice tiller, and with all the attachments.. We need a dealer here..it still wouldn't work in my containers, but what the heck
I might like it just to play with.
Don :fl
It would be hard in my containers,but what the heck I would give it a try. My dad worked a team for many years, and almost always had fond things to say. Sometimes he just had things to say that I can't about ole Jack.
I say go for it hook line and plow.
Don hey maybe next week we will only...
Well I am out of the race, my plants have gone no where.but there is always next year..and I will be using better soil, right now my power post hole digger can't ever break the top soil
Don :watering :watering :watering and it's not doing any good at all
That's a very pretty part of the state, if you move I hope you like green..good luck on what ever happens.. Some times there is a bigger plan than any of us could know.

I use crusher stone, gets hard like concrete, but a lot easier to put down and very cheap..we get 3 tons for about 20.00 $
You can make it as thick as you want.. We have it on our driveway and the floor of the barn..and the floor of the green house as water go right through it..at first it feels...

If you go online and sign up for their email papers they always have lots of coupons, and you can view the current ads, I too have to cross the line, so I only go when they have something that I really can use.

Yes those are the ones, I like the brighter colors so that I can find them, I get mine from harbor freight on sale about a dollar per pair..
They do wash up pretty well..I have issues with my hands and they really help with grip
