Only one of my raspberry plants are producing berries this year. Something really shredded a lot of the leaves. I am going to try one in a 5 gallon pail next year and see how it does. Once you get your raspberry plants established you will love them!

I don't have room in my little courtyard to grow them and I wasn't very successful at our previous house anyway. Sorry the birds eat yours! Put some tulle over them maybe.

Those bugs in the last pick are the larval stage of the invasive stink bugs so it's okay to do them in -- I know they look like ladybugs, but I tracked them down last year and was disappointed to learn what they are. If you haven't encountered them, they damage fruit and work their way into your house!?!Mary Hueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930632913728046516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258071793517912248.post-60863450313860041112018-07-23T10:02:58.727-07:002018-07-23T10:02:58.727-07:00I love how you search your garden for bugs and egg...I love how you search your garden for bugs and eggs. I have just never taken the time to do that. I guess I've been very blessed in that way because the only problem with bugs have been on squash and when it happens I just pull the whole plant up and get rid of it. Maybe that's over kill, but I don't want them spreading to other things and I don't want chemicals in the garden. I love that you have butterflies and hummingbirds in your garden, how sweet is that :)<br />Hugs,<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258071793517912248.post-44285072181836314352018-07-22T22:31:32.445-07:002018-07-22T22:31:32.445-07:00I so enjoy visiting your garden.
