Something made me walk out to the patch this afternoon about 20 minutes before I was to leave for work.I took a glance at my early plant that I started for a fair, and saw something that made me do a double take... I said " it can't be !". Yep, cuke beetles all over my plant, on May 7th ! I ran back to get my pump sprayer and took care of them.
Fortunately, it was cloudy at the time of spraying, so I am hoping the plant is ok.
The earliest I have ever seen cucumber beetles in past years was very late May.
