My Question Today Is About Worms:


I worked in the garden and the backyard today.  And did laundry.  The gardener comes on Wednesdays so I try to get my work done on Tuesdays in preparation for Miguel.  I like to get the garden weeded, tomatoes tied up, the rose bushes and geraniums deadheaded. Hand water good.  I don't care how good a sprinkler system is, there are still places in every yard that need a little hand watering TLC.

My question today is this:  How do you get rid of cut worms on geranium plants?  I get them every year at this time after a beautiful worm free spring.  I dare to say that I hate them.  Along with slugs and snails.  But right now the only effective way I have found to rid my pots of them is to go out in the early morning and hand pick them off.  Now the good part of that is being able to squish them to death (with a shoe or papertowel, NOT my hand) and know that they will never bother your blooms again, but it's getting old.  HELP!

I don't know who the Lakers played tonight, but it wasn't the Celtics.  Good Grief!  C'mon guys.  Get your head in the game!  We had Baja Fresh for dinner to support the YW camp fundraiser, and watched When In Rome.  Now that was a really cute chick flick.

Cindy,

I found this website on google for the cutworms.

By the way URI is our state college here in Rhode Island.

I hope this can shed some light on the cutworms.

I recommend typing in the website
www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/sheets/cutworms.html

Hope this helps!

Love,
