Japanese beetles have done a number on the leaves of my raspberry plants.

Hi , my green bean plant leaves look like skeletons . No green just the ribs on my newly exposed bean plants any suggestions?? Thank you.

GREAT to hear!!! How'd it go?

Hey Tommy - sorry to hear about your injury - glad you're back and look forward to seeing you on the Monday livestream! Bet you can't wait to get back to your garden, glad to hear it's coming along nicely with the up-potting. Those fresh veggies are the best! Take care!

Hi Jack, crazy weather - usually you have so much rain and we're in a drought here in Cali. This year it's reversed, I'll send some rain your way! Stay safe, hope those tornadoes and fires stay far away from you family and your garden!

@@CaliKim29 thank you! We’re actually are expecting several inches of rain in the next 7 days. 2-4” between Friday and Monday so that will be a huge help with the drought and should result in a growth spurt for the garden.

LOVE hearing stories like this!!! Nice job and thanks for sharing! Great to have you following! Kim

How have you been!!?? You are welcome.....Hmmm, perhaps you should watch my videos anyways?? HA HA. It's all good - Kim

Wow. Better to get ahead prevention..but you've got a lot going on out there! LMK how this is going! Mahalo

You are so welcome!! Kim

Hi! This is a bummer and hard for me to say exactly what they could be! Whatever they are, I'm thinking they are small...and hard to see (because you haven't seen them). Here are some suggestions on what they could be... Flea Beetles-Small, shiny beetles that jump like fleas and most active during the day. Slugs and Snails:These pests feed at night and leave irregular holes with smooth edges.Look for slime trails or check the plants at night with a flashlight.Handpick them at night, use beer traps, or sprinkle crushed eggshells or diatomaceous earth around plants to deter them. I did the beer traps and they worked. Cabbage Loopers-Look for caterpillar droppings (frass) or check the undersides of leaves. Leaf Miners-Larvae of certain flies that tunnel inside the leaves, creating trails or blotches. Look for serpentine trails or blotchy patches within the leaves. This is no doubt frustrating. Keep after them and keep me posted - CaliKim

Not knowing exactly what's causing the holes it's hard to say. I would think it's most likely earwigs, pill bugs, slugs and snails, which Monterey's Sluggo Plus is what I would suggest trying. Here is the link: amzn.to/4e07dun

Yep, pull it/remove it. Apply spray and move on! There's always a battle, Jackie! You're good-it's just part of the deal. CK

Hi Tatyana, no need to rinse off - leave on the plant so when the insects chew on the leaves they get a nice mouthful of the insecticide. DeadBug Brew can be sprayed up to 1 day prior to harvest. Good luck getting rid of the creepy crawlies!

1 Day prior to harvest. CK

Hi Andrea, It depends on the extent of damage and the type of plant. If there are just a few leaves with small holes, it's generally not necessary to remove them, especially if the plant is otherwise healthy. But, if the damage is extensive or if it's caused by pests or disease, it might be a good idea to remove affected leaves to prevent further spread. Regularly inspecting your plants for signs of pests or disease and addressing any issues promptly can help maintain their health. CaliKim

Thanks. I appreciate all the help I can get.

You bring up a legitimate concern...in further detail, what I do, is that I am constantly, removing the netting for early am/evening, etc. placing the netting back on, etc....Thanks for pointing that out -

Interesting! I am sorry to say that I do not - good luck with the research and share here what you find! How interesting....

Hello Michelle - it depends on what's attacking it. Look on bonide.com at their pest and disease problem solver. It's a great resource to figure out what the culprit is and the best way to deal with it. Good luck!

Yes they do. You should put out traps with oil and soy sauce.

Hi Emily - Scale super annoying and tough to get rid of, as you have to catch it at the crawling stage before the insects become immobile and attach themselves to the plant. I'd use Bonide's Insecticidal Super Soap, and spray as soon as you see them for best results. Check out these links: bonide.com/insect/scale-insects/, amzn.to/3AvumSK. Hope this helps!

Kind of an Occam's razor situation, don't you think? When you planted your plant --- did you add worm castings or fish fertilizer? Your plants have need those additional ingredients to get a strong jump start....frustrating nonetheless, I know. I am sorry to hear --- but let's jump back in and keep moving! CaliKim

No.
