Well I tried to keep my poor plants going but when I came downstairs this morning they looked pretty far gone. I was surprised because it seemed like the devastation occurred overnight. I didn't notice them at first but Ava discovered tiny little green caterpillars all over the plants! Where did they come from?? The plants are inside the kitchen so I'm not sure how they got in. There were tons of little black dots all over the window sill- is that their poop? Gross. I tossed the plants outside and later noticed Ava letting the caterpillars (worms?) crawl all over her. That poor girl desperately needs a pet!! I'm really bummed not to have my herbs for cooking anymore. Any pointers on how to prevent this from happening again?

Those screens would have been handy! LOL
ReplyDeleteJust try again!! Did you get the plants from the Supermarket? They shouldnt arrive with little guests, but if they do just pick them off!! Bad luck - keep going!
ReplyDeletebruce said that the eggs were on them when you brought them home.....and yes that was probably droppings from them......can't you get fresh bunches of herbs at the supermarket? that would be much easier.....jus snip off a small piece of stems, put them in a glass of water, and keep them in the fridge. as for ava, it should be easy to get her a pet.....or few....just go out to the back yard, grab a few bugs, and she can keep them in her bug house! :-) mom
