Thank you, Linda! I love to eat Lamb’s Quarters and have let a bunch grow in veg garden as a veg for us. Noticed the other day one of the 10 or so LQ plants is loaded with what look like aphids, some tiny black bugs. Trap crop, thought I! Your article timing perfect. Great reminder to grow trap crops earlier than protected so trap crops will be able to compete with main crops and give pests a strong target. Excellent! Thanks again!
