It's OFFICIAL! I am retiring from growing Atlantic Giants. Watered this morning and saw the first few weeds starting to sprout. Grabbed the hoop hoe and surprise. Day two of the invasion. In a couple short hours since my earlier post the body count on squash bugs went up to 53. This is not on a commercial field, we're talking 6 plants and a couple back-ups. After pinching the heads off every one I could find I stood at the edge of the patch and watched 2 more fly in. They're included in the TBC. Plants will get MIMIMAL care, maybe some water and a regular heavy dose of spray. Going to treat them as a trap crop. I'M DONE FIGHTING.
