Garden 2010

This year has sucked. Planted late for weather. Then a few weeks drought. Then the Deer. They eat the tops of maters & eggplants. Knocked over some plants. Plus a few worms. With the too late rain, I should have had maters till frost. Stand by! Flickr changed things since I last linked.

Sorry for your loss. That is one ugly worm!

Do those things eat roses too?

I planted a double knockout rose, which is doing better than the properties own plants. They have been suffering from something eating the leaves. They/it eats until there are only stalks left. I have recovered the few roses in front of my windows but not without plenty of systemic and topical treatments. I read that it is a worm that lives in the dirt and crawls up the stalk.

How did you kill them?
