Caterpillars
It appears we have an overdose of tentworm caterpillars this year. They are everywhere! One girl I walk to school counted over 300 just on half of our house. Hanging from the lights, hanging out by the basement door, and worst of all, eating my once glorious coral bell plants alive down to the stalks. Apparently the super warm winter had something to do with this. Anyway, my time is too valuable to be plucking them off by hand and putting them in a pot of boiling water, like I did earlier, and superblasting with the hose isn't working, so I'm off to get some Bt (an organic bacterial-based pesticide) tomorrow. Ugggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
