Hi Deemom,
They sure seem to be slow growers. We planted a bunch 2 years ago yet see very few. I was poking around and found a Leucojum blooming for the first time. It's a relative of the snowdrop. I'll add a picture soon. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Wildlife Gardener. I love the patterning around the lower perimeter of the body. This stinkbug is actually not very stinky. I've caught them in my hand and they don't seem to spray a foul scented odor.

Hiya,

A whole new blog for me to explore! Wonderful. Don't know how I came to miss this.

We call them shield bugs, and I squash them by the dozen, usually at mating time, so I get two in one squash. Never knew they had an odour. You make them sound like a skunk.

I don't know if you go back to read comments on old posts, but if you do: Are you really blocked from my site? Can't see how you are singled out.
way, zap this when read.
