Can I plant dill seed purchased from the spices section of the grocery store?
Generally this isn’t a good idea because the seeds may be irradiated and won’t grow. The same goes for eating seeds that are sold for planting since they may have some sort of coating like a fertilizer or sterilization solution on them. My potted lavender plant is covered in white silk nests & there are bright green with pale white or pale green stripes hatching on them & killing my plant. As best as I can determine from researching these insects, they look like the tomato hornworm. It has turned half my previously healthy pant brown & limp in a couple of days. How do I get rid of these & can the plant be saved or should I toss it to avoid them spreading on to the rest of my plants? The pot is on one side of my patio steps away from the other pots & ground plants by about 3 feet (to the closet other pot which is also lavender). I sprayed it with what little organic pest spray I had left & soap & water but need to know what to get to finish them off & keep them from returning? I need so
