It seems our pests enjoy some of the same food as we do! The downside is that it's not always possible to spray or powder our food plants without damaging them for us as well. My suggestion would be to contact your county agricultural agent and ask him. Ah, the proverbial problem with growing food plants! It seems our pests enjoy some of the same food as we do!
