LOL!!!
I utilized some 11 year old free labor yesterday to grape-koolaid my berries and spray the grapes against Japanese beetles.
One of Jax’ classmates gets off the bus here with her in the afternoon. What a wonderful boy he is, he was all excited to help spray the bushes!!! Maybe I’ll put them to weeding this afternoon!!!
Can’t beat that child labor!
Sonny is an awesome hole digger; he and the dogs used to dig HUGE foxholes when he was small, so his talent is not wasted!
The Japanese Beetles are just starting to show up around here; customers have been bringing them in to show me. Blech!
I haven’t had ANY out here; most likely because we have all sorts of spraying going on around us in the fields and not much grass turf area out here for them to lay eggs.
I have very few problems with bugs. It helps to have taken the time to build a good eco-system here where the GOOD bugs can thrive. I saw lace wings and REAL Lady Bugs yesterday. Lots of brown bats and birds of course, too.
It’s truly a life and death struggle every minute out there in the yard, LOL!
We’re getting glorious rain today; we SO needed it; it’s all been going south lately. The sweet corn crop is saved! :)
Grape Koolaid????????????????
Why and on which sort of berries?
