We have also progressed from four-lined plant bug damage to Japanese beetle and stink bug damage! I was thinking as I was catching the little darlings in my hands and dropping them into the beetle juice jar that I was never brave when I was a child like I am now. Funny how you change over the years and when you finally reach 60 nothing is a big deal anymore! It is always something in the bug world these days! So hopefully you have had a great week in your herb garden. The weather has been beautiful and we have another great day tomorrow before the rains come back. Talk to you next week.

Everything looks great. Stuff here is so tall because of all the rain.
Thanks Peggy! It has been an amazing summer so far! xo
Raspberry jam is my hubby's favorite! We've enjoyed some homegrown cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes so far.
Thanks for stopping by Susanne! The rain I think has ended our raspberry picking at the moment! Hope you enjoy your tomatoes! xo
Your pictures of the raspberry jam have my mouth watering!
Hard to believe Rosemary, I have two boxes of raspberry jam already! It doesn't usually happen this early! Thanks for stopping by! xo
