Steve,
Your editorial regarding my question was not requested nor appreciated,if I
choose to use chemicals or not is none of your business.
I have holes being eaten in the leaves and aphids,I do not intend to loose my
backups, so if you have a problem with it go out into your patch and jam a pumpkin
up where the sun don't shine and mind your own business!
End of comment to steve
If there is someone who has some information that can help me please let me
know
Thank You
Rick
