There was a little horseradish plant outside of they're box so I figured I'd move it before it was a permanently there, the roots were about 4 to 6 inches deep

its only been in the ground since February

So earlier this week I clipped the flowers off my onions, but not all the way to the base cause I was in a hurry, well today I noticed an insect going into the hollow stalk carrying dead grass, so I looked in another cut off flower stalk and saw dead grass so I clipped that stalk off at the base and opened it and I saw about 8 grasshoppers that had been paralyzed and put in there

Here's what came out of the stalk when I opened it.

Here's the insect

That's crazy Dan, but I guess nature needs a helping hand now and then.

 

[dan26552]

Yeah.

I know it is terrible when it's our garden. I had something on one of my apple trees making all kinds of leaves clump together and die so I mixed up some soap and vinegar and sprayed the tree. I'm still waiting to see what happens.

Also I noticed that the tips and the new growth on my grapes are covered in little tiny black bugs, any idea what those might be?
