It seems the bacterial wilt I have here is mutant - kills and badly impacts a lot of plants. Ive tried at least 15 or more cucumber varieties. One year I planted 9 (yes, nine) varieties - and only got a few cucumbers for my efforts. So, this year, two of them are the type that do not need pollination (Im guessing for greenhouse purposes), and two that are disease resistant. We also planted them later this year - mid-July rather than late May. Maybe that helped too.I would say mine are about done also, but I'm having trouble letting go! I'm surprised the Suyos were the worst, mine held out pretty well to the wilt, they have a little, but the actual beetle damage is worse.
Man do I hate those bugs. They're on my squash too, but not causing damage there. Yet.
I struggle with the cucumber beetles - I want to kill them, but I don't want to kill bees or praying mantis or any other beneficial insect. very occasionally I might spray Sevin, and it does kill them, but I try to avoid using Sevin on flowering veg that attracts bees.
Side note: I'm beginning to hate JBs just as much - STILL killing them! killed some on a fruit tree yesterday and had another one on the asparagus this morning! I just hope it is a really bad year for them. They really quickly damage so much and we are scouting for them daily, so its not like they are getting ignored.
