I'm afraid to post so I don't jinx myself, but I don't really have any pests. The worst I had was when a feral cat moved in and chased away all the rabbits, but I haven't even seen it for the last couple of years now. But the rabbits never ate any plants, just the dandelions from the grass. The milkweed doesn't even have aphids this year. I do keep the birds happy with seeds and fresh water, maybe they're just doing their job and getting rid of the insects too. And I did have baby praying mantises (mantids?) this year, they're probably doing their thing too.
