Question
QUESTION: In my vegetables gardan something is eating all the leaves off my plants

ANSWER: Sounds like you have worms. Some of these only come out at night. I recommend a good spraying of Sevin at night and try to get under the leaves.

QUESTION: I think it is cut worms how do i get rid of them.

Answer
Cathy:

First try to identify the worms by looking at them. Check the color as this is important. If you would collect one and take to your local insectide dealer he can identify it.

In the mean time try to sprave with Sevin dust or better mixed with water to see if this helps.

Worms are sometimes difficult to deal with because of their habits and being night creatures. If they are only eating the leaves then you can probably get control of them and your plants will generate new limbs and leaves.

Make sure that you plants have plenty of water and fertilizer to help generate new limbs.

Hope that this helps.

Best wishes.
