I am an avid gardener too, and ...Oh man, so sorry. I am an avid gardener too, and totally sympathize. Try Neem, the organic spray that sickens any of the chewing insects while leaving all others unharmed. Only the ones that suck or gnaw on your leaves are affected. It also has fungicide properties to help with the diseases they can cause. I need to go blast the potato bugs. You will not see results immediately as it takes time but it does seem to work. Organic gardening stores and companies carry it. You can also try mixing up a strong blend of pulverized garlic, and a light oil, one of the kind tolerated by plants, and potent peppers or buy that pepper stuff and zap them with that. I haven't used the pepper stuff but heard good things about it. <br />Fire bugs are really evil too. I will see if Neem works on them this year. I am tolerant of a certain amount of damage but they decimate plants. Get the best quality Neem, not sure if there's a difference, but there might be.<br />And let me know how it goes!<br />Just don't spray Neem on anything with butterfly larvae as they eat host plants but are desirable.Beth Trisselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742049964476824594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159399136466764725.post-70373993846286997492010-05-21T09:13:20.280-07:002010-05-21T09:13:20.280-07:00This violent streak of yours against those bugs is...This violent streak of yours against those bugs is inspiring :) Wish I had your green thumb too!
