Bugs ...
OK , today I found a small black bug on my decimated eggplants . About
maybe 3mm long , and several on most leaves - except the one where the spider has set up shop . Also found a Colorado potato beetle on an eggplant yesterday . Something is eating the leaves on my peach tree , not sure what but they're havin' a time of it . Found a small green caterpillar on one of the apple trees , a few leaves have been munched . Found a small bug , cylindrical and about 5-6mm long with orange spots on either side of it's "neck" and long antennae , not sure if it's a predator or pest . My plan for right now is to dust the affected plants with some DE , should stop most pests . I surely don't want to get into using insecticides now , as I have a bee hive coming later this month . In fact , I'm not so sure I should continue the DE after the bees arrive . I just know I need to get a handle on this before it gets out of control . -- Snag |
