We too have been bombarded with cucumber beetles. I'm getting attacked as
soon as I take cukes and squash out of the greenhouse for transplanting to
the field. It's like one of those really bad "B" movies on late night TV.
They swarm me.
Potato beetles have always preferred eggplant over potatoes on our farm. They
will eat the eggplant down to nothing over night. But, they also prefer one
of those prickly weeds that I can't think of the name of right now, horse
nettle? Purple flowers, prickly, pops up all over the place etc...
I should have known it would be like this. We were hit so early with
asparagus beetles and I wondered then if it was sign of things to come. It
was.
