POTATO BEETLES!!!!

We have now contacted everyone who grows potatoes to remind them to be vigilant in watching and removing potato beetles. Three gardeners have been contacted directly because of a severe infestation and have one week to show some improvement or the plants will be cut off at ground level.  This seems sever, but we have to keep the whole garden in mind when we are dealing with pests.

Tina has asked for some help in battling her potato beetles.  She has been out already this morning and will be trying the rhubarb spray this afternoon.  If you have a few moments, please wander by her garden plot and help remove some potato beetles.  

Click here to view the map of the garden - Tina is in the second-most top space, very near the compost.

Good luck and happy gardening!
