Not off to a good start here at my place
Finally got one end tilled so Carolyn can get here vegies in.
No sooner did I get done and the dam Colorado beetles are already crawling out of the ground and I never have had potatoes in that end of the garden before!!

Going to start anew in a dffferent spot about a block away that Les has had corn the last few years.
Didn't even get enough spuds last year for seed so bought all new this year. Pontiac, Red, & Yukon Gold.
Will see what happens.

Try some granular Spectracide on the garden area. It took care of everything on my lawn including grub worms. I use it every spring and fall around the house to keep out insects.
Cheapest place around here to get it is at Lowes Home Improvement. Around $12 for a 20 lb. bag. I usually use three bags. I also use the liquid concentrate for plants.
