Dinners harvest


A bit of lettuce, salad bowl, mutiple kinds, along with some peas. That 'bush' behind the basket is a Butterfly bush, color red when it flowers. Seems to be growing well. I added it to encourage bees to come on in for pollenation of plants. I have noticed some honey bees around as well as bumble bees. Also the dreaded japanese beetle! I have never seen so many! We put out 2 bag traps and after just 2 days they are almost full! I will have to go out with some soapy water and knock them off the plants into the water to die!
