I was able to spray Sevin® on all the roses on 6/28/2026, and the picture above are a few already-pesticide-anointed beetles who were happily munching on a former bloom of 'Therese Bugnet'. I am risking my good Karma saying this, but I hope they all die writhing in agony and are transported immediately to the gates of Hell, where they belong.
Though an old gardener, I am but a young blogger. The humor and added alliteration are free.

Beetle Update
Some of you may be wondering if you have missed my annual tirade against Japanese Beetles, but never fear, they have arrived. I saw my first beetle of the year at the KSU garden during the Garden Tour on 6/20/2026, and my first beetle in my own garden, on 'Blanc Double De Coubert', on 6/25/2026.
