I, too, nash my teeth, hold my breath, and then shake my head in sorrow at the number of people that simply switch from one set of chemicals to another (but insist that because the chemicals they use are organic that is okay) and call themselves organic gardeners.

Hi, Iris, I bet you are cringing at someone's recent huge overload and overkill with Sevin and other high-potent killer chemicals ... I wish I had the courage to sayyyy something gentle and tactful, but am at a complete loss of words...maybe you might be able to find a way...and that might give me some ideas how to start...

I am thinking poor honeybees, poor ladybugs, poor bumblebee...
