the night moth have arrived. with them comes the dreaded "bud worm". i sit outside just after the sun sets behind the horizon. here they come. big brown moths. they zero in on the tightest buds forming and land. then lay an egg and fly away. couple days later the egg hatches. tiny little caterpillar. i found that by the time they are big enough to actually see they have done their damage. this year i am spraying BT. started about 2 weeks ago with a light misting of the whole garden. hit them again 2 nights ago. hopefully this year i can keep them under control. i am avoiding molasses because i think the smell attracts more moths.
