What is eating my sweet potato leaves off the stem?
Comments (14)I measured in my deck is 24 inches off the ground. First step up is 13 inches. The pot is 22 inches high. The green fine trails down to the tech which if I am OK get on the deck with the easy to get it to VINE. The purple VINE does not trail down the 13 inch pot. It looks like just sell used at the top of the plant I’ve been eaten. I thought possibly a deer because it would be the right height to eat the leaves on the top. It’s just that we seldom ever get deer in our backyard playing on the main road. Once this winter we saw their foot prints come in the back gate, and turned around When they saw there was no other way out and Went back down the driveway and down the main road (Warwick Avenue)....See Morewhat is eating my raspberry leaves and stems?
Comments (2)Something is eating my heritage plants also. The leaves are full of little holes. On some leaves there are so many holes the leaf is just a skeleton. I haven't seen any bugs and I know it's nothing bigger than an insect. Any ideas?...See MoreWhat is eating my roses and what to do next pls?
Comments (4)Thank you Michael. I did find the rose slugs - and they have had a feast. I did take a few photos of the wilted canes - posted on the link below. The stems do not seem to be hollow. Still think it is Stem Sawfly pls? I am going to prune below the wilt and hope that takes care of it. A different rose has gotten a fuzzy white something on it - last photo linked. No wilt so I guess this is something else. It is close to an azalea that I just found has leaf gall. Any idea what this is pls? Here is a link that might be useful: New growth wilting...See MoreHelp!

Comments (5)Hi Yennie. I had a similar problem this last year with the three tomato plants that I tried to grow in the ground instead of in containers. Something, and I never saw what, ate completely through their stems. Whatever it was never touched the leaves. I would just come out in the morning and an otherwise healthy looking plant would be on the ground with its stem chewed through. I've never seen a slug here, but have had problems with cutworms. But if cutworms were to blame, you'd think some leaves would be damaged as well. Anyhow, I think there are a few posts about it on my garden blog linked below.
