nature keeps amazing me
There is a colony of TNR cats living in the neighborhood so the small critters like chipmunks, rabbits, moles and voles are almost extinct here. I do miss the chipmunks and rabbits. They never bothered what I had planted. The biggest pest right now is the spotted lantern fly. Thankfully I don't see them on what I have growing-yet. No beetles. But the mosquitos are horrendous!! OFF spray and lot's of it repeated hourly and I take the thermecell unit with me when it's peak biting time-which is always. Long pants and a long sleeve shirt. Any exposed skin gets attacked. I might consider a bee keepers suit. And even tough I haven't heard them yet, we have several large Cicada Killers making their tunnels in the rock wall along the driveway. Not exactly a garden pest but I do give them a wide birth. The cicadas have been quiet this year-I miss their song.
