BUGS! UGH!

I have a terrible feeling that this year is not going to be as prolifiq as last year, despite the fact that we planted twice as much. The weather has been cool and rainy - even the sunny days are mostly cloudy. And if that wasn't bad enough, the bugs have moved in! I was hoping to thin some mesclun yesterday to add to a salad..but the poor little leaves were all shot up and covered with flea beetles! Then I found these two wierd looking bugs on the potato leaves - they were mating. The do not look like the Colorado Potato Beetle. In fact, they looked like tiny clumps of dirt - until I looked closer. Kev took a picture with his cell phone. I will try to post it.

On a much brighter note: the first pea blossom opened yesterday!
