I’m new to growing veggies and am learning as I go. I now know all about squash bugs. I was having difficulty removing the eggs without tearing up the leaves so I got a roll of masking tape and used a piece to blot and pull off the eggs. It works great. It also works great at removing aphids from the eggplant as well as those little green worms that were eating my brussels sprouts. Now I never go to the garden without my trusty roll of masking tape on my wrist and my garden is gorgeous. Just gently blot the backs of the leaves and nothing gets away!

]]> Comment on Stop Slugs and Snails Before They Ruin Your Garden by Amanda http://todaysgardenideas.com/garden-problems-and-pests/slugs-and-snails/#comment-293 Amanda Sun, 04 May 2008 23:44:19 +0000 http://todaysgardenideas.com/garden-problems-and-pests/slugs-and-snails/#comment-293 I can vouch for the frog method - we have hundreds of frogs in our Canadian backyard and I've never seen a slug or snail. In our old garden in north-west England there were no frogs and I was battling with gastropods on a daily basis. I was too kind to kill them, so I threw them over the wall into the cemetery behind our house. I'm sure they used to climb right back over during the night...

The 'notify via email box' is handy though to remind me to go back. I do try to rather go and visit peoples blogs and respond by making comments on their sites instead. But maybe I should try a little harder on mine... Surely in changing from Blogger to Wordpress you might lose some of the links that you may have developed with other bloggers? Hi Emma,
