Or maybe try growing moschata squash.
Apparently winter squash has solid vines, and no grubs.
Being on the look-out isn't likely to be of much use... my moth was there for a few minutes, and then nary a trace... Lots of other gardens to visit... didn't even stick around long enough to visit the flowers!

Hi 3Mark
Yes, that green one looks like a young katydid and it is probably who was eating your heuchera leaves. I find that katydids are not very particular and will eat just about everything in the garden.
Nice beetle picture.

And to think I gave him the benefit of the doubt
It was not my heuchera he was sitting on but at least now I know I have to be on the lookout. Let's hope it'll turn out that they prefer other plants
Gleni said:Do you have small native bees in the US, too?
Yes. The genus Perdita (100s of species in this Genus) are fairly minute...just a few mm in length. I do not remember which species in the US is the smallest but it is likely one of the western species.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

Lovely.
It has really caught on in Australia having native bee hives. I was due to get one this month but the man who does it here fatally fell off a ladder recently.
Assdded 9/9/2016: the next day his daughter rang and said they had a hive for me.
