AAACK! the grasshoppers have arrived as well as the aphid! Dang-it!
But on the plus side, the ants are having a feed-fest with the aphids! Now I need to ward off the 'Hoppers!

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone got some ducks and they took care of the grasshoppers!

Ducks would be great but we have no source (pond) of water on our 13 acres.. I would have to put a pool out for them,, trouble is, we have several Eagles near by and they fly over our property in search of food,, I would be devastated if one of my ducks became 'kibbles' for the Eagles,,, So if anyone wants some grasshoppers for fishing bait,, come on over! lol!
