BAD NEWS TODAY!! Went out to check on the plants and found a couple svb eggs so I took care of them and as I was looking around I noticed the tell tale svb holes they make. I dug around one hole and pulled out the tiniest svb you will ever see but it was alive and wiggling.That got me going so I looked over my Marchand and low and behold every time I found a hole I also found a baby svb. The merit I applied has not worked or they would not be alive would they? I followed the application directions on this site and applied it about 2 weeks or so ago so any hatching eggs should of bitten the plant and died.We still see tons of alive svbs and bees everywhere. I do not know what to do. Maybe I should go ahead and mix up more merit and give it another go but I am just so mad to think of spending that money and still finding alive and happy little S.O.B's makes me furious beyond belief. I guess this will be another season of slaughter in my patch. The plants seem healthy and all the babies I have found where pin head sized so there still young. I will try my very best to dig out the buggers one by one but it might be a losing battle. One leaf stalk had one baby in it and the outside had 10 eggs spread out all over it. I hope everyone else is not having the same probs. Have a good season all and grow em big.
