Flea beetles have been outrageous. We
just discovered leek moth. And as of this afternoon, confirmed downy mildew on
the onions we planted last fall to overwinter. Got out in the rain/mud and cut
them off and stuffed them into huge (heavy) barrel liners, hoping to keep
spores away from out spring planted onions about 400 feet away. Will spray
copper if it dries out tomorrow. Onions and garlic used to be totally trouble
free, no-brainers. Not anymore. Few CPB, but we normally have light
populations. Don’t like the sound of the cuke beetles Andy. I am growing
cukes inside this year in hopes of having fewer and controlling them better.
They decimated the cukes last year, and the cukes that made were extremely
scarred. Hoping for a better cuke year. And potato year – but late blight
has been found in Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Andy Fellenz Anyone else seeing many more pests this spring? Asparagus beetles
are at least 10X what I experienced last year and we have an infestation of
cucumber beetles in the high tunnel. In past years, we haven't had near
as many cucumber beetles in the house as outside, but this year it seems to be
the opposite. |
