Notice 3 of 6 tomato plants in a raised bed had hornworm damage this morning before work. Didn't have time to search properly so it made for a very long day anticipating finding them.

Only found one worm. It was covered with wasp eggs. I didn't give the wasps time to hatch, just killed it. Hope I didn't miss one. Another 24 hours we will see.

My 8yo can find a snail in a heartbeat. Collected a dozen tonight alone. She wasn't interested in finding worms for finding snails.

So another pest question. My green beans started looking rough, almost overnight. Leave dry and brown, crunchy. I don't know if it's just the cycle. I pulled all of them, salvaged what I could. Planted more.

I noticed the soil was crawling with pill bugs. Everywhere. Little bitty to giant. Should I go ahead and treat the soil now or wait?
