A variety of different types of insects can get onto your vegetable garden plants. While many organic pesticides can be used to help with getting these insects off some of these insects can be picked off of your plants by hand. Here is a look at how to hand pick insects off your vegetable plants.
Cabbage worms are common insects that can impact various organic vegetable garden plants including cabbage plants. These worms are green and contain hair on their outsides. These worms can be best handled when they are picked off of crops by hand. You will need to get them removed as soon as possible so that they do not lay their eggs into your vegetable garden plants.
Cucumber beetles are insects that generally get onto cucumber plants but can get into many other vegetable garden plants. These beetles can be noticed through their yellow shells with black spots on them. These can be picked off of plants with ease.
Squash bugs are larger bugs that are brown or tan in color. You can pick them off easily when you first find them. After you do that you should build a trellis to help with keeping them from getting back onto the plant. For more on this and other supports visit http://www.mumsgrowyourownorganicvegetables.com.
Tomato hornworms are insects that can be hand picked too. These are insects that will generally get onto the leaves of your plants. Like the cabbage worm this insect can be spotted by its long green body that can be covered with hair.
For best results it will help for you to get all of your plants treated after you hand pick these insects. This is so that you can keep them from coming back. You should look into using organic pesticides to help with keeping them off over time but you should still check periodically to see if any of these insects are still getting onto your plants.

Also, in many cases you can get your kids to help you look at your vegetable garden plants so that they can remove these insects. You will need to have them wear gloves for protection and also to have them wash their hands after handling these insects.
