Couple of questions if anyone is still reading this thread...
So went out to the garden last evening in search of the creature. (took my husband and a knife...lol). We couldn't find him but I'm not sure we were looking in the right places. The frass was on an old leave stem and there was nobody home lurking in there. I didn't cut into the main stem of the plant....is that what I was supposed to do?
Also, I did clean up quite a bit of old broken leaf stems and I also cut off some old bloom stems that were no longer any good. And anything else that looked yellow and/or dying. Is that what folks normally do? Cut off and remove old stuff? Does that leave the plant susceptible to insects or disease since the stems are hollow?
Should I go hunting again this evening? This morning I did notice a lot of good honey bee activity in and amongst the plants. That's gotta be good, right?
Sorry for the ignorant questions.
