Once again something ate a female flower that was going to bloom this morning! The damage was very similar to the last one. What is doing this!?! I saw online where growers sometimes use stockings for potential bloomers. It makes since because it protects the flower and it's breathable. I decided to try this out. My wife helped me find the stockings. ;) I'm not sure my natural insecticide worked though, because as I was checking over the patch I saw two grasshoppers sitting on two different plants. It was almost as if they saw me and they were laughing at me. I didn't think it was funny! I got out my mixture and started firing directly on them. They didn't like that at all and their smiles turned to frowns! I spiced up my mixture, so they got a full dose of cayenne pepper in the face. Hopefully it'll kill them.
