Got this in the email today from gardeners about cucumber beetles being a problem in the garden. I am having some trouble with my squash and my cucumber plants suddenly looking very wilted and brown spots on the leaves. I will post pics of what they look like. I was concerned I would not get any squash but yesterday when I looked I saw one giant one I overlooked. I hate that when that happens!
I took a picture of the cucumber beetle and it appears we have the spotted kind out here although I do not see too many of them on the plant. Not sure how many it takes for it to be a problem. I did the test of cutting the leaf and measuring the stickiness and it failed that test so perhaps it’s some other problem.
