I can'...Hey ya Kristi, everything is looking great! I can't wait! Be aware that there are a lot of studies going on right now researching a suspicion that BT causes harm to the honey bee larvae as they go to flowers to collect nectar and pollen and feed it to their young. The tough part is not to spray when there are flowers in a best case situation -- or at the very least at night so there is some time for the BT to degrade. I'm not certain what the 'life span' of BT is. Anyway, something to keep in mind. I have been struggling with caterpillars too. A bee keeping friend told me about a recent meeting she'd been to where they discussed BT concerns. I sprayed BT after the petal fall on my fruit trees (plum and peach mainly) and picked off a boat load. That takes some patience! <br />Hope your tomatoes work out! <br />(ps: speaking of the older generation ... my father in law finally saw my potato towers, he literally shook his head and didn't say one word. ha. suffice it to say, he wasn't impressed. time will tell. :) )<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161936988434765481noreply@blogger.com
