In reference to picking the bugs off potato plants, last year was the
first year I did potatoes in the east. My neighbor was horrified that
she and her husband had no bugs on their potato plants to speak of.
She went on & on about how each year they had to pick the bugs off
their plants. I have six roaming guinea hens and it turns out they
picked the bugs off of the entire neighborhood's potato plants. Now
maybe everyone will quit compalining about their squawking and
screeching.
