A Time for War
I hatched my first squash vine borer (SVB) today. You know what that means:
What, you don't hatch bugs in baby food jars at your house? Yeah, I guess that counts as a bit unusual.
At MY house, I collect SVB eggs and hatch them in a baby food jar. It lets me know exactly when that dreaded creature has become a serious threat. Then I let the kids take them out to the driveway and fry the buggers with a magnifying glass in the sun. That part is fun too!
All this stuff mixed together looks almost as nasty as Norwegian Seaweed Extract:
Meanwhile the vine is about 8 feet long and growing about a foot a day. I'll get a picture posted Sunday.
