Battle of the Bugs

Squash bugs. Have you ever heard of these evil little things? Well, I hadn't untill they DESTROYED OUR ZUCCHINI PLANT!! Losing that plant was like losing a child! We put so much love and effort into making it grow, and then right when it's about to produce fruit- BAM! The squash bugs strike! Before we knew it our plant was long gone. Those suckers reproduce like CRAZY! Seriously, our plant was covered before we could blink an eye. So, we had no choice. We had to strike back and finish things once and for all. Dan dug up the plant....


And took care of things.

So long, squash bugs. You may have won a battle, but we won the war!

Too bad about your plant! I knew once I read the part about striking back it would involve fire...true Miller style.
