Any ideas on what is munching at the leaves of my Hardy Chicago? __________________ -Joe- Queens NY Zone 6b-7a depends on who you ask!

I would guess June Bugs, at least that's what eats mine. I went out last night and found another one, fed it to the chickens this morning. I would go outside after its dark with a flashlight and you will see the culprit =) __________________ Jenn Austin, TX Zone 8b Wish List: CDD, Bryant-Dark Unknown, Red Lebanese, ORoarke, Calvert Will hopefully have cuttings to trade next year as my yearlings mature

There are probably many choices. I found what looked like a small tomato hornworm that had been eating some of mine yesterday (a first!), but the edges are more smooth than on your leaves. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Those hornworms are terrible, they can a plant a day of tomatoe or peppers. I am glad they aren't in big numbers here and are easily killed with bt. __________________ Canada Zone 6B

I've been noticing a bunch of leaf hoppers buzzing around here also. Time to bust out the Neem... Nate __________________ Nate Faith, Family, Friends, and Figs (not necessarily in that order).
