Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi CT !  I suspect that when you sprayed them the bugs had a reflex which let them drop to the ground, away from danger.  Many bugs do it.  They then just climb back up again. 

    This is why I suggested putting plastic sheeting down.  Firstly it means you can stop them hiding in the soil/undergrowth beneath the plant.  Secondly, you can flood it/coat it with something lethal (eg milky spore), or something sticky (eg cheap margarine).  If you use margarine then scrape it and burn the margarine bugs and all.

    Hope this helps.
