Angry remember those stink bugs....

That everybody had in their houses last fall?? Well I think the remnants that escaped me by hiding in the cracks in my log walls are feeding on my tomato seedlings!

I kill every one I see but I keep finding more. Anybody else having "unexplained" damage to seedlings this year? I don't mean chewed leaves(stinkbugs do not chew they suck juices) , I mean whole leaflets wilting and going powder dry. Yes I am removing the bugs from plants and hiding under pots/flats.

After a good rain run out and spray under the leaves of all veggie plants. I have noticed yea I'm a little strange at times. well people watch birds I just watch the bugs. When it starts raining the ones just under the mulch/ground surface scurry to the underside of leaves, the ones on the ground don't want to drown and most on the top of plants don't want to get wet. You will have less bugs and pest problems spraying just after a rain. believe me on this one. GT, (I hate Stink Bugs Too)
