I saw you have a post on Mondemniums and I'm going to photograph mine since it seems to be experiencing a growth spurt.<BR/><BR/>KMGG,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Bev,<BR/><BR/>You know I don't really grow edibles so I would feel uncomfortable providing you info on how to deal with them since you'll be eating the plant. Hmmm. See if my sidebar has a blogger that does veggies or if anyone reading this has a veggie blog and has dealt with leafminers on your edibles feel free to link to your post on it here or contact bev.<BR/><BR/>chigiy,<BR/><BR/>I've only found one snail in my garden and it was so tiny I felt bad about smashing it. Now slugs are a different story...I love stepping on them or giving them to the neighbor's kids and telling them to pour salt on them.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-33560108484942511442007-08-29T17:01:00.000-05:002007-08-29T17:01:00.000-05:00I get leafminers in my garden.Like you said, they ...I get leafminers in my garden.<BR/>Like you said, they don't cause that much damage so I tend to just ignore them as I do with most pests, with some exceptions, like snails.<BR/>They make such a satisfying crunching noise:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-53462593113904074362007-08-29T14:25:00.000-05:002007-08-29T14:25:00.000-05:00I had leafminers on my spinach this year and it wa...I had leafminers on my spinach this year and it was so bad that I could harvest only a few individual leaves.

I have seen leaves like the one you pictures but never thought too much about it since it doesn't seem to hurt the plant.<BR/>Thanks for sharing.KC MO Garden Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271882234701140704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-87265964464258128922007-08-28T18:27:00.000-05:002007-08-28T18:27:00.000-05:00Leafminers get into the skin of citrus here.

It doesn't hurt the fruit, but for commercial growers, it is impossible to sell as eaten-out-of-hand fruit, so they sell for juice.<BR/>(I just noticed you wrote about Wandering Jew a while ago. I just wrote about it last night. I didn't copy you, honest!)<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.com
