My help seems to wonder sometimes why I check out the critters in the greenhouse before getting rid of them. (Especially the spiders) It’s simple. In an organic greenhouse we welcome those times when we can create a bit of a balanced system that can keep plants healthy. Some spiders, like wolf spiders and daddy long legs ; frogs and toads; and praying mantis, eat many of the harmful insects (Those that chew holes in the leaves or spread plant diseases). Of course they are just fun to have around sometimes too. I get the strangest looks though when I thank them and ask them to move over a little before I water or harvest.
