They really are much like a stink bug, and like to eat on tomatoes, squash, etc. I should have gotten rid of him, but since he wasn't bothering me, I didn't bother him. I'm getting a little worried about all the stories of yuccas that won't leave!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-67964819830476198422013-05-04T17:26:41.773-07:002013-05-04T17:26:41.773-07:00Are leaf footed bugs good bugs?

Maybe it was older, but I don't think I would have missed it weeding two years in a row! The second one I found is not as big as this one, and is not flowering yet.

I've put them on bread and water, had them beaten to death, burned alive, then stomped on them with hobnailed boots and they look as fresh as daisies every year. Well I may just give in, although I've heard of a few more things to try. <br />Misrepresentation inignorant gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666406543531437194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-32813823248496316622013-05-04T05:21:01.310-07:002013-05-04T05:21:01.310-07:00Stink bugs are taking over the Earth!

The lesson I am learning from my garden this week is: "Please stop checking the plants to see if they have grown - they will grow in their own good time". Unfortunately, I am not listening and I am about to pop outside to check the Astrantia.
