The cate...Thanks, Jeff, will just post unanimously! The caterpillars are sawfly larvae, and the best way to control them is to pick by hand. This is super hard, as they are small and pretty much the same color as the leaves. I've taken off 40-50 in the last few days. If your leaves are OK now, you shouldn't have a problem. Their season is short from what I've read. --JodiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-40230745157576080962011-05-29T09:27:40.655-05:002011-05-29T09:27:40.655-05:00Hi Jodi,

I'm a beginner at growing them myself and hope that I don't end up with the same thing.<br /><br />As far as the comments go- logging in as anonymous is fine. I've been frustrated with the same thing on other blogs. I'm not sure how to fix it. Allowing anonymous posts is the best I can do for now.<br /><br />JeffJeff Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285239745975791484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-22576467917888887632011-05-27T08:31:33.350-05:002011-05-27T08:31:33.350-05:00Jeff, the rain garden's looking fantastic!

Last year, I discovered mine doesn't thrive because it's bothered by some very tiny but voracious green catapillars. I tried to check on it this week, but got busy ad when I finally went out yesterday, much damage was done! I picked off about twenty or thirty of them, and have the aching back to prove it today. <br /><br />I too, love using pea shoots and usually get them at the farmer's market at least once a year.<br /><br />On our farm, we also had a huge crabapple tree and lilacs--and their scents are so evocative of the coming promise of summer....<br /><br />p.s. I find it nearly impossible to comment in this format--I tried just with my name, my google acct, wordpress (where I'd have to log in again--too much work!) and now am resorting to anonymous.
