It looks like you have some plum curculio damage there - a little weevil laying eggs which then produce worms burrowing in the fruit. The little scars are caused by that bug. Cut some open and look for tracks and a teeny weeny worm. I don't know if you have any other problem or not. You need to spray to combat the curculio, type curculio spray into Google for example. I use Surround on it myself, an organic non-toxic method. Scott

The brown stuff on the poppies sure reminds me of tobacco mosaic virus! But it is really hard to tell without handling the plants as I have seen something similar with poppies that appeared to be perfectly normal??? Do your plants die prematurely? The other plant looks like slug damage ?? There are alot of kinds of chewing worms but check out on a warm evening for signs of slugs or insects that is really the best time to spot the critters. I will not recommend pesticides as I avoid them as I prefer organic controls.

Scale in the hedge. Cannot tell what the white spots are, the photos are too blurry. Could be immature scale, if they are in the same area, could be mealy bugs, could be white flies. If you can post a photo that is in focus, we might be able to tell you a little better. Patty S.

My first piece of advice is for you to acknowledge you have invaded their territory and now you have to play by their rules. You can spend enormous amounts of energy fighting them and getting nowhere. You'd be better off outthinking them and trying to find some form of compromise. Raised beds, really raised beds, at least 24" minimum, 36" is better, and stiff wire mesh coverings will slow down the rabbits. Hog panels can be manipulated into good bunny barriers. What kind of rabbit do you have? Desert cottontails or ? They're hungry this time of year and are coming into breeding season. Do you have the funds and the room to keep a bale of alfalfa hay and a salt lick way out in the back 40 somewhere? Give them something to eat away from your garden. Keep an eye on the coyotes, they'll raid a veggie garden too. While we're on coyotes, what kind of animal of are they attacking? Yes rattlesnakes hide in bushes, that's what they do. Have you tried turning the hose on them to make want to leave? They're probably hanging around because of the rabbits. Of course you might have pack rats too, just as tasty! Are the critters coming up for water perhaps?
