There's no question about it: gardening is not for the faint of heart, nor the easily discouraged.
So is this creature the one that's been feasting on our baby dahlias? If so, what can I do?

Can anyone identify these caterpillars that have been dining on our kale in the garden? First noticed them a couple of days ago, and only "just" saw them. They are camouflaged very well!

These are what #HelleboreAphids - #MacrosiphumHellebori - look like.

This specific #GardenPest is whitish-green & only attacks #hellebores. Hellebore #aphids are a nasty garden pest because it's a vector for the virus #HelleboreNetNecrosis #virus #HeNNV - a pathogen that spreads #BlackDeath quickly, if left untreated.
