calico20hill SO FAR, at least, we do not have Japanese Beetles here. For which I am most grateful
I had no idea there were parts of the US that were safe from the JB scourge! Lucky you!
I find that bagging blooms excludes JBs pretty well, and I don’t mind the extra work.
My most difficult pest to deal with is the tarnished plant bug, which can still manage to slip into the organza bags. From what I read, they have no known predator either. Let me know if anybody here has a good organic solution for them - we have quite a lot for most of our blooming season unfortunately.
