Awesome Becky! The first one is rich and lovely. 80s .... grrrr. I'm counting the months. Rust is bad though in the south huh? People lose their livelihoods because of rust. How can you protect from that? anything?

I hear spraying cayenne on the plants protects them from beetles & other bugs. But ya gotta do it after each hard rain. And I guess your butterflies wouldn't like it much. I also tried the method for japanese beetles where you go out and pick each beetle off the vines, tedious but easy to do, and get a couple dozen. Then you take 'em and put them in a jar of kerosene and hang it near the plants, it gives off the brethren death hormone smell and they stay away. It worked pretty good.

pinching method. one vine huh? wow.
