Spinosad killed all the small leaf worms. The ones we had were green with reddish Orange head. About 3/8 inch long. I killed 2 stink bugs, I’m really struggling with squash vine borer, almost to the point that I don’t want to grow squash anymore.

Having the best fruit set year ever tho. Been watering almost daily with well water. It keeps root zone nice and cool. Fertilizing weekly with TTF. Have 2 C Purples that have 18 set fruit a piece. Aunt Ruby’s, BPTD, Barred Boar,and MaqiQo are loaded too. I’ve been thinning trusses because I’m worried about the toms being to small. Goal is for 10-16 oz tomatoes. We also have had minimal disease. Saw some EB today one small streak on a cherry.

Hope this heat breaks soon, the 15 day forecast has 2 rain days at 40%.
