Thats one the hardest things about living here in the south, where there is no real winter, if its not one pest ,its another. Some are relatively easy to handle with organic, or home remedy pesticides. like leaf footed bugs, but some pests like Vine Borers...they can kiss my ass...I actually have two garden plots that I rotate crops out each season to combat certain pests and of course soil nutrient replenishment. I try to stay as organic as possible, and feel bad when I need to use harsh chemicals. Then Iam constantly looking for spider mites, and thrips . Especially on my Plumeria , which I kind of rely on to help pay and support my garden hobby. Nothing pisses me off more than having several $50.00 cuttings go to shit because of some shitty little bug

Any borers are a nightmare. I posted peach borer pics last spring. I put out 4 sticky traps that filled up in a day each after I noticed them and hit the entire tree (bark, ground, everything) with permethrin and spinosad every 3 days for 2 weeks. If that doesn't get them, and my follow up this winter with parasitic nematodes should. But damn, those things will kill an orchard like nothing.
 
@bustmasterar15 not too bad. I’d a bunch of house work like a normal Sunday and got the screen up on my photos. Other than that been a pretty lazy day brother. Pretty stoked to see your daughter huh?
