“I have gobs of Concord grapes this year and if the tree rats don’t get them I’m going to be making a lot of grape jelly soon...”
As I was mowing past my grapes today, (all six of them) I saw a lot of Japanese Beetles eating the leaves and having some sort of orgy! Ick!
I planted seedless ‘Reliance’ and ‘Somerset’ grapes for eating and juicing two years ago and THIS is the THANKS I get, Mother Nature?
Tomorrow, they DIE!

I stand corrected.
I can’t believe it.
One of my tomatoes is showing hints of yellow orange.
Yippee!
