The lettuce and zucchini I started a few days ago are coming up and the Brussel Sprouts I brought with me are still in their pots and not even touched by cabbage loopers yet.

When I get home, they need to go on the ground and I will be treating them with Spinosad and see if I can get a crop that way.

I expect to see a lot of Japanese beetles when I get back.

When we get Japanese beetles I put out the (Japanese beetles) traps. One year, we collected gallon jugs full...

I freeze them a few hours, then add them to the compost. Unfortunately, they don’t make good fishing bait!
