jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated I love how Julia Child didn't let a mistake phase her. She just threw it in the trash and said, "Let's move on". That's a good example to follow in all areas of life.

SoFL Rose z10Updated I use monterey insect spray with some success. I'm thinking about using a granular one too. I hate to use too many pesticides, but the chili thrips are bad this year and they are really taking over my garden. I'm also going to try...
