The leaves get reddish, lots of extra bushy growth both above ground and under ground. I read that interplanting with petunias helps, does it really ? Any other ideas ?<br />Thanks, Jean in Mt.Jean in Mt.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14127355672432179350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-25325021910493688872009-09-02T15:40:14.337-04:002009-09-02T15:40:14.337-04:00I had an awful time with Curly Top

We know how hard it can be to deal with pests, and I'm sorry the cucumber beetles got the better of you this year. <br /><br />We have a couple of products that might help, and are preventative as well as effective during an infestation. They are here:<br /><br />http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/product.aspx?scommand=search&search=cucumber%2bbeetle&item=9181&category=292&subcategory=655<br /><br />and<br /><br />http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/product.aspx?scommand=search&search=cucumber%2bbeetle&item=9336&category=292&subcategory=625<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Daria, the webmaster.the webmaster at Johnny's Selected Seedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135283615190851799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-13799128653856672842009-08-27T11:42:34.425-04:002009-08-27T11:42:34.425-04:00Nice post.

They total destroyed all my cucumber plants and severely stunted my squash plants, even my butternuts suffered. Used pepper spray, and hand picking but lost the battle. Finally used sevn, and this gave my squash plants a break. Could use more info in pest and what I can use on them. I try not to use pest. Preventive action would be a big help.<br /><br />Thanks Carl<br />Southwest PAUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403906570429140161noreply@blogger.com
