They have already killed one plant. I want to control them organically. Some have been hand picked, egg masses squished, nymphs squished, and now I am going to put diatomaceous earth around the stems, and use tape on my hand to try to lift the egg masses from the leaves without damaging the leaves. Any other suggestions?
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
