Title: My VistaPrint Electronic Business Card
|
Hi
We picked 18 qts of tiny little red currants due to the
drought this year compared to 44 qts last year. In addition my husband
"picked" 9 japanese beetles! First time for the beetles. I am not
sure how he did that without knowing it. They are really bad
this year. They love my zinnias- maybe we could plant them as a decoy. The
other thing is that they wrap themselves in the zinnia leaf so they
are hard to see- I had even looked at the red currants and didnt see any
before he started picking. Maybe they were wrapped in a leaf,
and dropped into the berry bowl when my husband pulled on
the stem with the berries- and also got the beetles hiding
in the leaves?
Q - Will lawn grub-ex like stuff kill the larvae off for next
year? We had treated the lawn with milky spore and didn't have any
beetles for years -till this year. Maybe they are flying in from the neighbors
like the dastardly red lilly leaf beetle. any helpful hints on that one
?
