RE: Favorite Vegetable To Grow - LOH Contest # 81

Very nice! We have slugs here too, and they wreck havoc on most plants, even flowers! They really annoy me, lol! It looks like you've been blessed with a green thumb for sure. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!

Thank you. The slugs are not a problem anymore. What concerns me are those grubs that I found in the potting soil. Last season I found more than a dozen in my potted pepper, good thing I was able to remove them before they damaged the plant. The pepper grew nicely after once the worms were removed. Just have a look at the photo... I placed them in plastic bag and brought them in the nearby field. I guess they will become June bugs.

When I started to plant again about 8 weeks ago, I have reused some soil from last year, one pot has about 11 grubs. Good thing I inspected, removed them and again brought to the field when I made my walk. They must have been the eggs from last season and only hatched during the wintertime...

Happy Sunday!

I'm glad you got them all removed! Nothing like nurturing a plant and then having it die. I've been there before.

Have a wonderful week!💜🤗
