My plants are about a foot tall now and I was wondering when I should spray them and if there is something for both bugs and fungus? Any advice would be appreciated. I live in Iowa.

Otis, what ever you spray, go very light, th plants are still young. Spray at half strenght if you have to spray a fungicide or insecticide.

I recommend sprinkling some garlic powder around the plants right now to repel cucumber beetles. They are already here in Anamosa. A good program of garlic, contact insecticides and syustemic insecticide like Merit is needed for most of the growing season. You need separate products for fungus problems.

chives work also to keep away beetles
