Havent seen the tomato horn worm yet, and other than those first batch of army worms, there hasnt been much more bugs show up. Thumped a spider paralyzing an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail cat and noticed today I did kill it. also killed one stink bug, fleas are awful bad here, skeeters, the voles have burrowed thru plants and I caved holes and soaked plants. Tonite a deer was spotted crossing the road and the 2 cats decided to spook themselves into the house. I will have to see what was nibbled on the deers way across. I think the deer was looking for water, so tomoro I will fill the trough and chunk in a skeeter dunk, and dust for ticks. Hot down here, you take 3 steps and you are as drenched as standing under Niagara Falls. I have Monarda planted nex to the mater plant, the only thing munched was the serrano pepper plant amd the sunflower by the deer.
