| 0:00.0 | Every garden has its fair share of pests, but you might be surprised that they can kind |
| 0:18.4 | of change from season to season. |
| 0:21.1 | You know, last year at our place, or at my place, probably years to jock, we had a ton |
| 0:27.4 | of problems with earwigs. |
| 0:29.2 | Just an unlimited amount, it seems like handfuls really, in a bed, it's quite disturbing. |
| 0:36.4 | This year, I have seen some for sure, but I would say one 100th of the amount, they're |
| 0:43.7 | almost nonexistent, and some new things have cropped up. |

| 1:23.9 | So I think what happened was that black water really stressed the plants out, made them |
| 1:28.3 | a very easy target for that white fly, and they just loved that kale, filled it up, propagated |
| 1:33.0 | all over it, and actually managed to beat them back just this week. |
| 1:36.6 | I was thinking, I don't see any white fly on my property, so what I did is I hard pruned |
| 1:41.4 | all these kale plants, I removed all the lower leaves, I left nothing but the tiny little |
