Slept in today and woke up around noon. I decided to go check all my plants as I always do everyday or so. I turned the back corner of my house and (gasp!) to my horror, I saw my cucumbers and squash were dead as a doornail, overnight. The watermelon wasnt looking so hot either...
So after closer inspection I saw some holes in my first watermelon ever that I had been daily checking the progress on. After a little searching on google images I found out I had pickleworms. They only seem to affect cucurbits , such type plants as cucumbers, squash, and melons. Thier favorite is squash, though. It was time for them to go. I had to destroy all of my plants and promptly burn them. I wont say they didnt put up a fight...they did have the numbers, but it was victory by a landslide. I won.
Guess i'll be picking up some BT soon before this happens again.

The worms:
All my hard work, gone:
Weapons of war:
In ya go...:
Light em up:
Watch it go!
Burn baby burn!!
Victory!!
