Re: combination trailers


Margaret,

You're right!  After going to the Internet, it is the flea beetle, and I
see that Sevin will kill them.  Due to an unfortunate incident I had one
year with the Sevin killing some plants (mix was too strong), I'd just
prefer not to use it.  Your idea about covering the plants until mid-summer
seems like a better idea, because after reviewing some web sites, I see
that the momma beetle will lay eggs in the soil next to the host plant.  If
I can prevent that, I think that I've gone a long way towards keeping
healthy plants.

Thanks for your suggestion.  My daughter can have her flowers this year
again.
