Margaretha and Vanessa discuss the recipe for the achillea foliar remedy. How much shall we dilute it?
edibleoffice:
Margaretha applies the achillea foliar spray
edibleoffice:
Vanessa's pointing is a visual note: we are leaving every 5th tree as is, to serve as a control group in the Achillea (yarrow) foliar application. Seems like a dubious control since the borers can travel to their neighbor tree.

A borer came out of this translucent sac. We found it inside the leaf of a plum tree.
edibleoffice:
We find a ladybug inside the borer's "leaf taco" and we hope it ate the borer.
edibleoffice:
We saw the nodules on this leaf and wondered if these appeared normally. This leaf had a lot of damage on it, and also had more nodules on the stem.
