I am in Austin, Texas and this is my first spring season with my girls. I have a large garden that is fairly established...lots of squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers are on the vine, just not ready for harvest. Basil is everywhere as are marigolds. I have a squash bug problem that is devastating my eggplant and I am interested to see if the girls will take them out...but how do i get them into my garden without destroying all that I am growing? I have bean sprouts popping up right now as well as young (no flowers but good growth) onions, okra, corn, watermelon and cantelope plants?
I got my girls initially in hopes for a bug free garden, but now I am terrified to let them in there! Advice from fellow gardeners MUCH appreciated!
