I found one inchworm and threw it off the lanai. And then I found another and threw that one off the lanai too.
And when I looked closely, I could see all these guys...
I didn't kill these, I thought maybe some birds would come get them and left them in a planter dish.
Instead, they are back in the kale and roaming the lanai for something to eat.
I'm heading to Hawaii in a couple of weeks and usually while I'm away, the substitute farmer (Satoshi) kills everything...so I think I'll let these guys eat their fill so they can turn into moths or butterflies or whatever nature-ish things they need to do...
Hope better things are happening in your garden.

To your death you worms! I had worm problems (that sounds so uhm...wrong) when my kale were just 4-5 inches tall, so I sprayed them with homemade agent orange - habanero peppers blended with some water and strained. Haven't seen worms again, although the grasshoppers do sneak in occasionally.
Oh man......I hate stuff like that. We haven't been plagued by any major pests yet....it's kind of early in the season.
Wow, EW!
I like your homemade spray, Rowena :)
I hope your garden will be safe, Kirk!
I know Mich...
Take care everyone!
