The Plague of Cutworms

It was most definitely the cutworms that ate my garden. 

Here are some rec's people gave me (remember I'm trying to be mostly organic here):

- place a nail next to the plant to prevent cutworm from curling around plant and eating it.
- Diphel Dust
- BT by Safer
- get a chicken (where the hell would I get one by the beach??)

This is what I did:

- tore up garden and picked out cutworms (found around 100 of the bastards--still having nightmares of cutworm larva)
- waiting a few days
- searching dirt again
- apply Diphel Dust or BT
- transplant seedlings and place deep nail next to each one
- hold my breath and hope that the cutworms don't come back

In hindsight, I saw a caterpillar a while ago and didn't know what it was.  I should have picked it out then.
