BUG INFO – There aren’t too many bugs on – check the carrots for black spots at the top & cut out if they’re there. Also, there might be some dead flea beetles in the kale/collards – I sprayed with Pyrethrin a few days ago.
NOTE: Please ignore the labels on the baggies. You should check inside to see what’s in the bag.
