Title: Plague of Caterpillars on Brassica, then 3" Orange Slugs on the Carrots.......
Post by: tim on September 14, 2008, 11:06:25
........and now.....!!

Perfectly timed rows of Spring Onions - strong & green - eaten 2 rows - rest would have overwintered.

Given a chance.

Suddenly looking wimpy. Yes - the ***** rot again.

Can but try?

Our silver lining with the hoards of tent caterpillars is
we won't have to rake leaves this Fall- they've denuded some of the trees completely.
