kaleo's veggie garden, NEED HELP DIAGNOSING PROBLEM

[KaleoXxX]

They will survive. My husky got to one of my zucchini plants...

it completely regrew in about 9 days. You can't even tell most
of the plant got eaten.

I'm actually glad she did it, because after it re-grew, it started to give
me more zucchinis. And it grew bigger than it already was.

a sort of FIM for zucchinis right?

spent a few hours trimming all the diseased looking squash and zucchini leafs and i found my pest. can any one please help me identify it? its a yellow grub looking thing with spikes all over its back and when you squish it its insides are all yellow too. i found a few on the back of most of the leafs i trimmed off

Pics?

Probably some kind of caterpillar. Pick it off and spray again. Did you put netting up?

I use it for strawberries, stops butterflies getting to the fruit or leaves, so they can't lay the eggs on the plant. It's very very cheap too.

no i didnt have access to the camera when i found it. im going to the store to get some chemicals to try and kill the buggers. ill try and get something non toxic, but i want to kill these bugs more than i care about my veggies so....

when trimming long leafs like on squash and zuchinni, is it best to cut off the leaf or the whloe stalk? i pretty much just cut off any thing that looked infected, and it was alot. i think i got a little heat stroke after working in my garden because i came in drank some lemonade and passed out in the AC for 3 hours

so since i cant grow marijuana in my house because my cat eats all of my plants, ive started taking care of the vegetable garden my mom neglects for practice. ive cloned a tomato and i have practiced a little lst on them before they out grew their pots.

i have a few strains of cucumbers and tomatoes , zucchini summer squash, chive and a pepper plant. i also have some babies that may have been started too late but what the hell, right?

i have some unknown pest, i think it might be spiders because i clear quite a few webs and killed 2 spiders. my mom thinks its beetles but i havent seen a beetle

here are the pictures:
this is my garden in its entirety

input or suggestions anybody?

i believe this is from japanese beetles

 

[KaleoXxX]

ive seen one or two Japanese beetle in my garden, but it is not the yellow spiky slug like bug i found all over my leafs the other day

 

[KaleoXxX]

i found the culprit today, anybody know what this could be?

 

[southwestgrower]

definetley spray for bugs and you shoud be fine

 

[tusseltussel]

look on the leaves for egg masses under and on top........ squash bugs are a bitch and will fck with cucumbers too.......... spray with neem every week.... i always do a couple plantings... young plants are healthier

 

[purplekitty7772008]

eww!!!

whatever it is, spray that fucker.

It will be fun to watch him squirm and die...

I know I LOVED it when I sprayed a tomato worm on my
tomato plant.

 

[KaleoXxX]

they are "mexican bean beetles" in the larva stage.

still need to get the sacred neem oil, but ive been spraying the plants with my organic solution and killing any of the buggers i see with a rock

 

[KaleoXxX]

got a good harvest of tomatoes going, ill be posting pictures in the morning.

also im thinking abut repotting one of my baby tomato plants and practicing some serious LST on that

not as exiting as a real grow journal, i know, but im acting as if

 

[perstephanie]

it is mosaic disease, caused by the cucumber beetle.
set traps and spray, as for your tomatoes, and other things,
remember, organic gardening produces organic food, not necessarily perfect unblemished food. could be tomato hornworms on those 'maters.
bug plucking and spraying is about all i can recommend.

thats all ive been doing really

ill be investing in neem oil in the next few days

do you think that the "mosaic disease" could be caused by the bean beetles? cuz thats really the only pest ive seen in there besides some ants and the occasional slug when theres been rainy mass weather

im going to set some soda can traps in the morning. i heard beer works best, do you think soda or sugar water would do?
