Japanese beetle destroying Harry Lauder shrub.

Me destroying Japanese beetles.

I've been picking these nasty little fuckers off the shrub every time I pass by.  I drop them into a mason jar of water and dish soap.  They are not easy to flick into the jar unless you have gloves on.  I squeam every time I touch one by accident without gloves.  Then I cuss some more.

PS:  Sometimes going organic is just fucking nasty.  Suck it up and do it.

PSS:  I didn't put the grasshopper in there.  It must have suicided.

Turd Soup!

Hmmm, what's this lovely concoction?  Why, it's turds soaking in water!  I know it's gross looking but believe it or not, it doesn't smell bad and soon we'll find out if the magic llama beans really do make a difference in the plants.  In case you don't remember the particulars, see here.
