Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

My squash plants were inundated with them... so I pulled up all the plants
hoping they would go away... they all moved and killed off most of my
watermelons and lopes, and more recently have moved on to my surprise to my
tomato plants. Best thing I can suggest is to remove them either by hand or I
found a small shop vac works really well too to suck them up. I let them go too
long - next year I will have to take care of them the minute I see them and also
watch for the eggs on the undersides of the squash leaves - pretty easy to find.

Laura,
LOL, city girl here, I had to first go see what a chicken tractor was. City code
will not allow me to have chickens. Nor will my nose. Maybe the wild geese that
fly over will stop by for breakfast.

Thanks for the laugh,
Carolyn in NC
