Life Around Here
Written by admin on June 26th, 2009Life here consists of juggling work and home and children and school. It’s really fun on most days.
My farm-raised husband does a little bit of gardening. It’s small time compared to “back when I was little, we…”
Thomas works in the tomatoes, watering and removing suckers and hoping for lots of fruit.
I wander around the periphery, up and down rows, working, playing, dreaming about flowers and herbs, and trying to learn a little bit as the days fly by.
The garden’s a chaotic mix of stuff this year, but things are growing like crazy. Hmmm. I could have just described my life.

Dear Lynn,
How nice to see the man-folk out in the garden, and everything growing so high! I know what you mean about juggling; I don’t know how else we would manage, though, do you?
Love,
Marqueta

Lynn,
What do you do about the Japanese beetles in your garden? Do they give you a problem. They are eating my leaves and flowers and today I saw them in my wee little garden.

Ann, I sometimes get mad and I flick them as hard as I can across the yard, but that’s not very nice. The nicer thing is to squash them or drop them in a bucket of water.
I don’t have a huge problem with them yet, but by mid to end July there’ll be several things stripped of foliate. I don’t put out traps because I’ve read that that just draws more to your property.
