Enemy troops have arrived!
Here's the raspberries...
And the asparagus fronds...
Yup, it's Japanese beetle season. I guess that means it's time to get out some soapy water in a container - just hold it under the beetles, give them a flick so they drop in, the soap breaks the water's surface tension so they won't float (and be able to fly away), and then once full, I dump the container into the pond for the fish to have a crunchy snack!

Ugh-I hate them. I've been spending my morning coffee break picking them off everything. Seems to be worse this year than in years past. They're really liking my white petunias--they leave the pink and blue ones alone. Odd.....
you're just another link in the food chain...
they are starting to appear around here too.
I really need to get out there and start picking them off...haven't done this yet, and leaves are starting to get more holes in them. I think the plants should be able to handle it at this point, and it's more superficial than anything.
Interesting that they have preferences on color!
