Vine Borer killed in CT.
CT Growers,
They are here. I killed one the old fashion way yesterday. I
punched her on the leaf. She kept moving so I let her have it again. When she
hit the ground she was still moving so I punched her into the dirt. There was
small movement in her legs but I thought it was just nerves. She was upside
down so I figured it was over for her. I put a clump of dirt on her to hold
her down just in case. I went ahead and walked the garden to check the other
plants. When I went back for my Trophy she was upright and out from under the
dirt clump. I couldn't believe it. She looked as if she was ready to take off
again. I crushed her this time, brought her to the deck and put her in some
water with a lid over her. Then I put her in an old Vitamin bottle. I know I
got her now but I don't dare open the bottle! They are tuff!
