knock on wood, no iris borers or beetles here so far.
I know they're in this area, just not on my property yet.
Rose Rosette Disease is really the only true menace to my plants. Even the deer feed on elderberry at the edge of the property and leave the daylilies alone. I planted hostas under a prolific apple tree, which was like baiting the deer, but they've stayed away from that part too.
No slugs, moles, voles, mice. I think the cats, dogs, hawks, owls and coyotes provide a good natural control. Lots and lots of bees, butterflies, frogs, toads, rabbits and snakes. So many rabbits that my flower beds look like I poured bags of alfalfa pellets on them, but it's rabbit poop. My dogs keep them chased away in the daytime, but the dogs stay inside at night. It's the climate that drives me nuts. Someday I'll learn not to fret over the stuff I can't control... Shrug!
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
