Happy to see the gardening sub pop up, and want to facilitate some discussion. So ask me anything you're curious about. I might not know the answer outright, but can help troubleshoot stuff too.

    sorry for the delayed reply i was camping out of state. I have identified both aphids (the ants were herding them) and grasshopper nymphs. Lately some golden garden spiders have moved in and i call them my guard dogs. Location without being too specific is the Delmarva zone, low foothills. They were pretty consistently on the plants, but the grasshoppers showed up later. Leaves are full of holes, some have withered off, but plants still have some new growth. The vast majority of the leaves are holed but intact still.

      The grape and strawberry’s will be fine with some foliage damage unless they’re very small and stressed. The go to for broad spectrum organic pesticides is neem oil though. Probably wouldn’t hurt to apply some adhering to the label directions.
