Bugs.
Consider that bugs were here before us and will probably be here after we
are gone.
Even if you get rid of every bug in your yard, a 5 mph breeze can bring them
in from next door.
A suggestion, now that you have been bitten by the garden bug, get a copy of
Rodales "Color Handbook of Garden Insects" by Anna Carr. There is about 300
different ones in there,
It is easier and quicker to grab the book, make a visual comparison, than
it is to find it on the web.
The last time I purchased a copy, the price was under $20.
The following has about 250 more bugs than Rodales, But the last time I
priced it, locally it was $175. I just let my County Agent look up the ones
I can not find in Rodales.
"Diseases and Pests of Vegetable Crops in Canada", Ronald J. Howard, J.
Allan
Garland, W. Lloyd Seaman, 1994, ISBN 0-9691627-3-1
And finally a request.
If you are looking for bug/disease help on this forum. remember it is an
open forum for organic/chemical controls. If you desire an organic control
only state it up front. I could save some flame wars.
