from everything Ive read I'm pretty sure that's what Ive got
they are about 3/16 of an inch long,white,inside the stem also found them inside my other seeds that I had started I narrowed it down to where they came from but now I need to get rid of them local agway said to use BT so I sprayed down the entire patch just wondering what anyone else thought about the BT or what I should use I started all new seeds with good sterile potting soil

i've been reading and i'm worried about maggots now. i loaded the patch with grub-ex,then tilled it in. i then applied another coat of grub-ex after i tilled. i used enough to cover approximately 2500 sq. ft.- the patch is only 1500 sq. ft. i then mixed up liquid seven and soaked the plants when i planted them. do you think this is enough to kill maggots or the right stuff to use.

The merit in GrubEx will only help if the maggots sre eating the plants. The seven should work as a contact killer, I didn't find it as effecttive as the Triazicide.
