Re: Beetles
John, how many plants do you have this year? Your in Campbell or San Jose
aren't you?
We had tomato worm last year but nothing like these beetles this year. Nothing
seam to stop them but bend over and pick off and squash them. Today was a
great day for the AG plants not to hot just right. We watered Monday night and
the 90 degree weather Tuesday split one of our plant right in half. I don't
give it to much hope on making it and we might lose another one it looks
pretty sad right now.
We can only hope for the best this year.
