I alternate between Lost Coast, BT during veg and monterey garden spray for the catapillars. Good luck, next few weeks going to be critical!

It’s a startling feeling when you first catch that glimpse, probably do a double take, then lock eyes with the criminal. I say criminal because you feel like you have just walked into a crime scene. I had a moral dilemma the first time I found one. Do I kill it or set it free in the field behind the house? I thought if I showed mercy the bug might end up with an undying sense of loyalty. Start ( at first ) just a little bug gang to guard the parameter of my greenhouse. The word of my kindness would rapidly spread throughout the yard. The gang seemingly overnight would grow into an unstoppable army. Sure, with any new empire there would be some backstabbing and inner turmoil… But I would be a good King leading my army to the promise land with love not poison and fly swatters. I ended up shooting it point blank in the face with a BB gun. It was so satisfying. This stray cat just killed this little runt bunny in my yard that always would hang out when I was in the garden. Named him “Derek” and everything. I forgave the cat. Playin with my weed plants though is like playing with my emotions…
