we make custom furniture
We have roly pollies ( or maybe called sow bugs?) and earwigs. I find the earwigs when I move one of my pots or when I take something out of a pot. I haven't been digging up too many things that are in the ground although I need to start doing that soon. It's been so dry that there haven't been a lot of any kind of bugs yet in shady spots but I am seeing holes in the leaves. In sunny spots I know I have japanese beetles on my roses. At least I guess they are japanese. They haven't spoken yet, but they sure are eatin' a lot. I bought some Spinosad today but haven't sprayed it yet. Once in a while I see caterpillars, but not many. The grasshoppers I expect will start eating everything in sight soon. And then there's the deer. They even eat the victoria phlox. Last year they ate the water lilies.
