freedombel said:Well, yesterday I collected at least 40, 10 today, hope numbers are going down. But I tell you, I not only found them on my roses and grapevines, but since they pretty much munched all that I am actually finding them on my Marigolds which surprised me because I thought the smell would deter them from those...


I saw them on my marigolds this year...squash bugs too. So much for deterrence!
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
