Gardening tips needed :D

Got rabbits in your area. They are my biggest problem. They are gonna love your peas, spinach, asparagus (in 5 years time when you have a crop), beens, beats. Hell pretty much everything in your seed selection other than cucumbers, corn and squashes.

Also, if you start spotting cucumber beetles on your nice yellow blossoms, pick then out immediately. Once they lay some eggs in the flowers, your crop is toast.

Same goes for tomato horn worm. If you spot branches on your tomato plants without leaves, start searching for the little bugger on your plant somewhere. Even though they can be up to 3 inches long and fat as your thumb, they are incredibly hard to spot. One worm can do a hell of a lot of damage to a plant in 24 hrs. It's too bad they are so destructive as they mature into a very large, very beautiful moth.

Yup! Definitely the best way to reduce pests is pick them off when you see them. I used to have a bucket of water mixed with a small amount of dishwashing liquid near the back door to take out with me and drop the picked-off bugs into. The dish-washing liquid makes it so there is no surface tension for the bugs to float on, so they sink...
And a reminder... Search the UNDERSIDE of the leaves, too.
