Help, Farmgirls! All my pretty blooms on my flowering plants are being eaten up by GREEN WORMS! How do I get rid of these pest?! I have handpicked several but way to many to deal with!

Thanks Bunches for your help!

In the past, some of the farmgirls have said to let the birds take care of them. Not for me. I think the birds around my area is afraid of those darn things. Totally gross, to me. I use a long handle limb cutter, and pick them off (I don't want to touch them), then I stomp them. I spent a good hour doing this on our tomatoe plants. Good luck getting them off of your flowering plants.

Hi Marly! The birds don't even get to these plants because they are in my patio area where it is busy. All my blooms are gone! It's awful! Thanks for your tip!

Hugs,
