We got a needed inch of rain last night and this morning. We missed the 4 inches the northern part of our county got, and the 6" in the next county north. Southern Iowa where they have been in drought for 2 years missed the rain. While patrolling the electric fence I found the first big invasion of cucumber beetles. Not the clouds I saw the past 2 years but enough to cause concern. They will be hit with one insecticide this evening after the bees are gone, and another spray tomorrow. If that doesn't knock them out I have 2 more to use on them.
