Well I skipped
all of about 4 or 5 days between visits to my orchard. In that amount
of time the Japanese Beetles came out and completely stripped my plum trees and
grape vines. Not a single leaf left on the plums and only a couple on my
grape vines. They mostly stripped my cherry trees as well. These
trees are 2-3 years old each so I'm not too worried about them, but I didn't
know if it might be wise to do something special for them to help them recover
this year.
Oh, and of course the Japanese Beetles were 99% gone
two days later when I went out to take care of
them.
