Hey goodnesswins....a fellow Oregonian... I know what you mean about, brief, short, stunted summer. I have been getting some tomatoes and cukes. My spinach just doesn’t seem to do well. I usually plant in Spring so I’ve planted some in Aug. and they are coming along...I’ll see.

Last gardening thread, I was asking about a white bug (new to my garden) that was on our new grape plants. I did a little research and think they must have been Leafhoppers. But, none were exactly like mine. My research said to spray with Sevin, did it and they were gone! Got to check again today to see if it they are truly gone.

I also have a plant that I’m not sure what it is. I let it grow and then pulled most out (convinced it was Baneberry.) Left a few to see what the bloom was and the fruit/berry. Looked today and the berry is small, round, shiny black. The leaves are heart shaped with rounded scallops on part of the edge. Any suggestions...I’m going to do some research (still think it might be a variety of Baneberry or....?)

I have Amaryllis in abundance. Anybody locally want any? They are not a new fancy type. Orange and white bloom but they sure bloomed like crazy.

Is your rogue plant a member of the Nightshade family?
