Yeah, something along those lines so BT it is. I had more than the usual amount of hornedworms last year and have only seen one cutworm so far this year. Grubs are about the same as always. Ants are popping up so need to get to them but they’re not the mater and pepper problem. A couple of neighborhood cats have been eating the lizards so that’s not helping. And the big slobber bucket is up to his old trick of over/under/around the gate to happily say hi when I’m out there - stomp, stomp, stomp. Oh, the trials and tribulations.

We have problems with spider mites on tomatoes around here as well, so I'm spraying with a liquid seaweed/molasses mix (1 tbsp each to a gallon of water).

I don't have the problem with a dog right now, and the feral catz are going away quickly. We started baiting the live traps with catnip, now that I've got enough to bait with.

I'm going to get the beneficial nematodes to kill the grub worms, I think. I just want things a little warmer before I put some of those beneficials out.
