What Pest Do Deal With In Garden ?

Not sure I am only there weekends, which makes every thing much harder. Long term goal is trees should be mature when I am ready to retire.

You can wrap them in netting especially when they are small. There are squirrel guards that you can buy.

June bugs.. They strip my climbing rose down to stems every year and do a real number on the rose of sharrons too! In the veggies, slugs - tiny little bitty slugs - were all over my spinach and lettuces. I'm pretty sure that despite my thorough washing.. I may have eaten one or two in the big spinach frittata.. They apparently aren't poisonous.

Cane those little slugs are no big deal. They just slide right down.

What's wrong nyboy? You eat snails-escargot. Slugs smaller version without the shell........

The most persistent pests this year are slugs, on the strawberries and cabbage.
But I found two tomato hornworms this morning, so we'll see how that goes. I never spray for horn worms, since they can be picked off. It can be just a few worms doing a great amount of damage, so hand picking seems to make more sense than spraying.

Beer in a cup placed at ground level definitely works to catch slugs and snails.

I keep forgetting that. Wonder if outdated beer will work, or if slugs are beer snobs?

What can I say......first no road kill, now no snails. Do you really want your man card taken?
