I guess there's something to said for scrubby grass, then?**bg** Thanks, Janie, fates are let go...:-)
I did go out with the flashlight, in my jammies, no less, and didn't see a thing under the leaves or along the stems. Maybe the DE has already kept them away? I can hope, eh? It's odd, I don't see grubs, caterpillars, no earwigs even. I might call the extension office tomorrow and see what they say.
