I have heard that soap & water is a good spray & was wondering what proportions to mix. We had a swarm of Japanese beetles on our nectarene trees. We mixed the soap spray pretty strong & got rid of the bugs, but the fruit was shriveling up & all the leaves came off.

I went out & looked and there were some leaves ruffed up and maybe a few spots but only on one end of the row. The rest of the row looked good & healthy. Am wondering if it may have been some rain & wind that ruffed them up, but not sure…

Growing grapes

This is my first year for growing grapes. I planted them last spring. They have really grown and are loaded with grapes. I am noticing some of the grapes are drying up & falling off. Is this normal?
