The Potatoes have BEETLES!

Oh dear...Mr. Gardener is beside himself! There are beetles in his beloved potato patch...the patch that he painstakenly planted (while I watched of course ~ it had be overseen) and he is fretting. Not just your normal fret either folks...I mean he is downright fretting, losing sleep over these dang beetles. Yes they are doing damage, but it's a beetle. Squish it firmly and rejoice!

It's actually a Colorado Potato Beetle and these darn things are tough to get rid of. So I caved and allowed him to buy some insecticide...there goes our organic potato patch ~ not that it was ever intended to be. So please Mother Nature, rid our garden of these pesky beetles, so Mr. Gardener can sleep at night!!
