I am a city gardner in zone 5/6. Dramatic temp swings in this area with cold winters, and hot summers. Love to grow my own fruit and veggies!

Not too many red lily beetles this season. Keeping them at bay with daily checks and neem oil. #firekinglily #red #summerblooms

@saco Cool picture. I bought some neem oil Wow$$$. But if it works it’s worth it. Any tips on using it beside mixed with a touch of soap and water in a spray bottle?

Thanks Tom @tkept ...It's pricey for sure, but the most effective spray I've found!! I mix with liquid detergent and some water, and spray top and undersides of plants.

@cyndi I already bought a quart of concentrate this winter when I was growing stuff inside. This will last a good long time. Probably longer than me. But if I run out I’ll do that next time. Seems I had to pay $17 for a quart of concentrate and I can’t remember how I mixed it off hand ( it’s on bottle ) but it seems to me it was only a spoonful per quart of water and a touch of Dawn dish soap.

With no known enemies, these are truly the bane of Asiatic lily growers. #redlilybeetle #wildlifewednesday

They come with the bulb, so just be careful what and where you purchase them. @columbiariver @gjones
