GARDENING FOR BUTTERFLIESGardening for the Bees, and Why It’s a Good Thing
When you discover how hard bees work for our food supply, you may never garden without them in mind again
Full StoryI have always had yarrow in my gardens no matter where I have lived. When we moved here five summers ago it was the first thing I planted in my garden.
This summer I noticed that this one particular variety (cannot recall the name at the moment) was not coming in thick as usual and the ends were turning brown and dying. When I got down close and inspected I noticed the bugs....black and yellow mostly. Some with red bellies. They are about a third of an inch long. I have never had this problem before.
I have sprayed with a rose and flowering plant insect spray but I really hate doing this because I hate to think of what it will do to the toads in my garden. I have started pulling some of the small offshoots but was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem or knows of this problem and knows of a better way to handle it.
Thanks!
Kristy :)
