As the winter ends and the rising temperatures signal the start of spring, we all must be seeing new growth in our gardens. New branches growing out of plants that have been dormant all through the winter, flowers blossoming and converting into fruits and vegetables, it’s definitely a sight that gives all of us immense joy.

But warm weather also brings with it a barrage of harmful insects that have finally woken up from their deep winter slumber. They infest our gardens and feast on our beloved plants to procreate and multiply in numbers.

This onslaught of insects on our plants causes a variety of problems. Suddenly, we start seeing leaves that have been chewed up, or curling, or malformed. You might even see strange mine-like lines on the surface of some leaves because of insects feeding on them.

Today, we will focus on the problem of leaf miners in our garden and how we can control them organically.
