Can you buy aphid predators there? I buy Aphidius wasps sometimes. They are tiny, and cannot hurt people, but they kill aphids.The horn worms are manageable for me. With only 6 tomato plants each year I am able to keep them picked off. But the aphids are my nemesis! Oh, and the dang squash bugs! Grrrr! And I love squash and zucchini.
Good morning, Bob! Hello everyone else.Good morning folks Good evening Wunda & Kiwi
Wunda, that weird white stuff is parasitic wasp eggs... Folks say if you see that, let them keep eating as once the wasps hatch they'll get rid of the rest of the worms.
Yes, unfortunately we do have fruit flies. We also have something I find weird but interesting to watch and that's the assassin fly. They kill wasps. They catch them in mid flight and then inject them with poison, then drop them someplace secure so they can come back later for dinner.Ugh wasps... they are bugs I do not like. Majority of ours are bitey and I am allergic to them. @Kiwibird do you have fruit fly over there? How about where you are in America Bob? Saturdays been good here. I planted 8? Packets of seeds just before the rain started falling so seeds have best start possible.
