The mild winter and early spring resulted in an early invasion of cucumber beetles, both the striped and spotted varieties. By the time I found them they had killed my 1451 Scherber and were just getting started on Jacob's. I picked off what I could and hit the rest with Eight dust and more garlic. It looks like it will be a long season of battling bugs. I replaced the 1451 with an 1165.5 Marsh, but it isn't looking too great. Just in case we have more losses we started 3 more for backups. They are great orange pumpkins so if they aren't needed for competition they will be used for growing multiple large orange decorations.
