Re: insectides

Ok.  Behind the 8 ball again.  I have caught over 20 SVB's so far in my trap.  I 
have been ill and not up to speed and may have to slow down again since the pain 
is back.  I have spent time rototilling the garden twice because of the massive 
amount of weeds. By the time I get to raking up the weeds, they have re-rooted 
and have started growing again.  As someone recently told me - never a dull 
moment around my house.

Deb,
I dust my transplants the minute I put them out in May. I use fungicide
shortly thereafter. This spring was cool and WET. That is a sign to put the
fungicide to them. I use a regular schedule of pesticide from the first part
of June until at least Aug. 1. 
I use copper fungicide and Captan. Use Sevin dust early for cuke beetles. I
then switch to Triazicide and Ortho Max for SVB.

We have had a hellish spring.  Two of my plants are starting now.  I was 
wondering when I start proactive pest/insect control and disease control.
Last 
year I was playing catch up and I want to start early this year.  When do
you 
start and what do you use this time of year?

Debbie
