This is my 2nd year with my container garden. Ive had an awful cool wet summer. Its raining this minute! I have a huge attack of holes on Rodgersia Dahlia aster Hollyhock Petunia roses where whole leaves have been eaten. I often check underside leaves n hand pick tiny green caterpillars. But i think due to rain this year, There must be loads. I also have few nice big Chrysanthemums and i just noticed this morning that nearly every single leaf has been half eaten. I cant keep up with picking them off and Ive already lost loads of foliage. Now they attacking my Mums im very very worried. B4 that, i coped as i got to expect it. But not this bad. How else can i deal with this? I dont like to use chemicali as i have pets and kids. Any suggestions b4 i loose all plants? And what about half eaten leaves? Ive been cutting them off but is it ok to leave them? Im running out of leaves!
