Well here is the first parasite of the garden, the cutworm ! moth moth larvae is a voracious. Unfortunately for her, while scratching the ground near the corpse of lettuce, I found her and savagely crushed without remorse! Unfortunately for me, she was not alone. Also the next day 3 other salads followed the same path. However, I had scratched everywhere in search of these gray worms, the color of the earth... So the fight will be merciless! But for the moment we are at 4 to 0 in favor of the moth! Another ten plants... I just sowed a row, but a little further! Well, if you have a trick to avoid a lettuce genocide… a laticide… 🙁
