Squash (the) Vine Borer
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cabbage worms, and squash vine borers. No, that’s not how the old nursery rhyme goes, but it’s how some of our gardens are. It’s no wonder that while we are excited to reap the benefits of growing food at home, and we […]
Cabbage Worms & Loopers- what to watch for
