Do you guys spray anything on plants as they start producing flowers to keep off pests or do you only treat if you notice something on plants?
Just wondering if there is any preventive measures is should be doing to protect against bugs or disease.
TIA

I spinosad and permethrin if the plants aren't actively flowering. I have a puff sprayer for diamatacious earth that I hit bugs with as I see them otherwise.

For the most part, this. I’d rather not use insecticides if I don’t have to. I’ve been seeing some cucumber beetles here and there. But they don't usually cause enough damage that my plants can’t handle them. My main concern is stink bugs, leaf footed bugs, and caterpillars. Especially hornworms. If I see those I will start spraying.
