Crisis in the Garden
Something is eating our plants. We have been at war with the snails for a while now and I think most of them are dead. But every once in a while, I go out to look at the garden and an ENTIRE plant will be gone. One day a full tomato plant is there, the next day it is gone. Empty, not even a leaf left. The same thing happened to a cucumber plant. These are big plants, so what is eating them? This morning, the second cucumber plant looked great. This afternoon, half of it has been chewed off at the base of the plant and so half of it is now dead. What do I do? What is eating my plants? I have not seen any animal prints. SOS- We need help pronto!

Joe Karlik the plant expert extraordinare thinks cutworms are damaging your plants. Dig around the plant base in a circle and you cam probably find the small little critter that is doing major damage.Try seven dust. Lightly digging and hunting about 1/4 or 1/2 inch under the soil is probably the more fun option. Then you can pinch their heads off.
Advanced planting....
