I found the first striped cucumber beetle today. I was going to spray fungicide after yesterday's rain, so I added insecticide. Rabbits won't stay out of the patch, so now I'm taking the .22 revolver loaded with birdshot to the patch. I can't get close enough to hurt them, just noise to scare and maybe a bit of a tickle. I have some fox urine to try to repel them. I have been using dog hair in strategic places and planted beans to try to draw them away. In about a month when the season opens, I will start using lethal methods to put them in the frying pan.
