fdd, do you know what kind of "butterflies" that llay those worms? If I find one in the leaves, i just tossed them into the pond, and the mosquito fish gulps them down like candy, and the mosquito fishies make BIG babies

mmmm i cant wait, when i smelled my fingers after i pulled the bud apart to get the worm out they were all sticky it smelt like a sweet citrus . is this normally how blueberry smells? not that im concerned i love the smell of it, on friday they smelt like coffee freshly roasted beans.

the catapillars have been chewing alot buds off this one smaller plant 2 diffrent kinds the standard bright green ones that are also raveging my tomatoes, and a smaller mostly brown one that likes to burrow into the stem and kills the hole bud above the eatten zone. I have been cutting or pulling these sections off so they don't go to mold, well i ran out off early trimmings the other day and the bits were dry so i rolled them up and smoked them. I was a little hesitant at first but it was just as stoney and had no ill taste or after afect, who knew you coould smoke catapillar poo.
i just found another one. once again it seems the Bt is working. i can't find the actual caterpillar but i find the damage. i clipped it off and was digging thru it to find the worm when a single seed popped out. nice. i pollinated another plant and it looks like a little pollen got blown around. new mystery seed for next year.

That Bt stuff is Ok to spray on your buds?...
I had never even heard of "bud worms" before (having mostly grown indoors.) Are they all over the US? I am in Oregon and have one plant outdoors. Guess that gives me one more thing to worry about.
(btw post #1 here, hello all.)
i would assume anywhere that has outdoor moths.
Bt can be used on vegetables up to the day of harvest. i stop spraying at least 10 days prior to harvest.
hello and welcome.
