I picked off what I could. They really loved my mint plants. I would shake their containers and three or four of them would fall out. Shudder. I am also having issues with flea beetles. For something so tiny they do a lot of damage. I was infested with these little buggers a few months ago. I picked off what I could. They really loved my mint plants.

From all the "$12 super-secret tomato-growing" e-books being hawked on the Internet, you'd think you can let the hornworms chomp away... if I understand the hype, a tomato plant doesn't need leaves (except those exact three leaves that the e-book marketing dude will tell you about for just $12). I spotted a Japanese beetle on an onion blossom yesterday. This does not bode well for the bean plants; in past years, Japanese beetles have ravaged the beans. This year, I'll try sprinkling the leaves with crushed limestone; I've heard it discourages leaf-eating.
