Wow, my gardens are really taking a hit this season, with spring sickness, leaf streak, aphids, and now Leaf Miners!
I started to wonder about the Miners when I started seeing leaves like this:
But today, as I was foliar feeding, I saw this little guy:
Am I correct in assuming that these are, indeed, Leaf Miners? I didin't know they could be this far north, but then again, I have dozens of newly arrived plants from southern sellers.
If these are Miners, will they overwinter here? Will I need systemic pest control?
My plants are looking so bad, and it's making me so sad, that I'm about to give up on my daylilies.
