@chova23 Me either. Glad you thought it was interesting :)

Actually it was a long torturous process which took about a week. And I'm not kidding when I say that they ate everything. It was a brown summer. This year I started killing them early. NO MERCY!

You're getting sleepy. Very sleepy.

Last year we had large black caterpillars EVERYWHERE and they ate EVERYTHING living. If we had trees they would have eaten them too. BT was like a vitamin supplement for them. Later on we had those giant brown wolf moths all over the place.

@TheWebock that would be just my luck :) I'll walk outsie in a few minutes and see my garden down to nubs, lol
