Spring’s here, & these little pests are emerging from winter quarters, building marching camps, watchtowers & little gravel roads. Keep an eye on your borders, & encourage natural predators (see replies for details).

Feeling very spring-like in Norfolk today, & the bulbs are coming up, so my annual reminder to keep a vigilant eye out for these #GardenPests building marching camps, little gravel roads, fortified walls & villas in your borders. A Roman #PlaymobilInfestation can be difficult to control, but…(1of2)

Yes…yes…I know it looks bad, but, they can’t resist a feast, and something has to be done!

Quiet in the garden at this time of year, but if you’re patient, and know where to look, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of one of their scouts.

Tobacco Cutworm… I knew you’d appear in my vege patch at some point. I was ready.

🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛 Five tomato hornworms on the tomato plants, stripping branches! I haven't had them in 14 years! They have been snuffed out. So destructive! Encountering them is not for the faint of heart! Guess I need to put Neem on the tomato plants this year.😕 #GardenPests

Potatoes in full flower. At 6:30 a.m., all the flowers were intact. Now, some unknown thief has eaten at least half of them! I have looked everywhere for the culprit. No luck. This isn't good— I need this crop to make it. Any ideas, y'all? #gardening #gardenpests #oklahoma #cherokee #potatoes 🤔🥔🐛

This beautiful Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) looks like jewelry, but millions of them together destroy the rosebush in my Vermont garden.

Freaked out for a minute when I found aphids on my nasturtiums.

Until I remembered that's why I planted them. To act as aphid traps.

SUCCESS!

They got tobacco powder at the store here in TJ. They say it's an insect repellent. I have so many questions. And I'm not sure where to start.
