Not only weeds, but also quite cultivated and ornamental plants can create problems for a summer resident.

In this article, we have compiled a short list of three hidden pests for the garden and vegetable garden.

Eggplants

When growing eggplants, you may one day encounter a whole swarm of insects that consume not only eggplant shoots, but also other greens.

Fungicides are of little help in the fight against pests, as experienced gardeners claim - so it is worth considering buying 4-5 fruits for stew or lecho instead of growing eggplants yourself.

Hops common

This type of hop (do not confuse it with Japanese) is characterized by rapid growth - a few years are enough for the vine to reach a length of 20 meters.

Hops are dangerous because they entangle neighboring plants with their shoots, slowing their growth. A similar situation occurs underground.

Viburnum

If you are into gardening, you should know that aphids can destroy your entire crop.

One of the aphids' favorite plants is viburnum. The pest not only feeds on viburnum leaves, but can even overwinter on it, and throughout the year it moves from viburnum to other crops growing in your garden.
