I was hardening off my bee balm plants and my husband accidentally threw them away. That's his story and I don't think I want to know any more. Will trade, pay shipping, even offer to come and weed! Looking for 3 plants. Heidi in Nebraska

My patch of white Monarda has slowly decreased to about 10 spindly plants. I don't recall where I got the original plant and have been unable to find another. Does anyone have seed to share? TIA, Kimmers

Hi Northerner, I sprayed with ivory/vegetable oil/garlic in water and it did get rid of them however it seems that the beebalm was at the end its' bloom cycle anyway. Yes, the larvae are very difficult to see and it appears that they get into the unopened buds and eat the petals so flowering was sparse. I now have grasshoppers on the plant ..arggg. I have it planted in 2 other areas and they didn't have as much as a problem with the larvae and one spray with the soap seemed to do the trick. I deadheaded the plant and will see if I get any more flowers this season. I think next year I will spray as it starts growing and see if it makes a difference. Good Luck Roandco
