I wonder if it is really damage from this critter.

I sent a critter to the Master Gardener lab that was leaving dots on the phlox and monarda leaves. Yup! They discolored some phlox leaves but the damage didn't harm the plants or blooms as far as I can tell. Thanks for the information - I will need to clean out better in the fall, but my neighbors . . . another story.<br />-RaySwimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-12034454075666108112014-07-03T19:23:15.174-05:002014-07-03T19:23:15.174-05:00If you are a gardener it is always something.

I keep getting more, they have been so reliable. Apparently the phlox bugs are in eastern US so probably not a problem here, I haven't seen damage like that on plants, but should keep an eye open for tarnished bugs. I don't usually do fall cleanup since I've been led to believe the old plant protects the roots from cold, maybe I should.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-39855100512946167092014-07-02T07:50:54.291-05:002014-07-02T07:50:54.291-05:00I had a problem with 4 lined plant bugs once and l...I had a problem with 4 lined plant bugs once and learned the hard way that you just can't skip the fall cleanup if a plant is infested.
