Oh boy.......... despite all that egg monitoring in recent weeks, some escaped my gaze!
Removed about 5-6 worms today in total.
This includes the following locations (not a comprehensive list):
- central patch: NW quadrant (base of stem)
- central patch: SE corner (vine -- two entry points fairly close to each other -- suspected, no visual confirmation)
- air conditioner south side zucchini: leaf stems (two I think)
- kitchen door zucchini north-most one: suspected in base of leaf, might have already gone inside (and after inspecting the plant so closely!!)
And others...........
Feeling anxious that all of this will have been
for nothing as I'm sure to miss some of them, and I'm not sure how many
SVBs it takes to kill a plant... Wondering if continued vigilance will
suffice to save the growing squashes... If the zucchini goes kaput, oh
well, at least I already harvested a relatively decent amount, but the winter
squashes, would be so sad to lose them all before any of them are
harvestable...
