Flea beetles—a topic that’s been quite relevant here in some recent posts. Here’s an interesting observation from my garden. And I’m sure it’s not because of the plants themselves; they’re all the same age and were planted at the same time. Picture 2 shows three plants; the one in the front has suffered a lot, as you can clearly see in Picture 1. The second plant was luckier, and the third one in the back, near the property line by the sidewalk, is doing quite well. Ten meters further on, in another bed (Picture 4), it looks surprisingly free of fleas. This fascinates me and motivates me to continue working to promote good soil health and the diversity of all small creatures 🕊️
