There is definitely something fallish in the air, even though it is only mid August. Saw these two juvenile mourning doves in the garden yesterday. Thought they looked a little nervous. I was happy to finally get a bloom on the tarweed I grew from seed I had saved from one of our field locations. Also, the black phoebe is back in our yard.
The stinkbugs are out of control in the garden this year. I am picking them off by the dozens every time I'm in the garden. I've never seen them so bad. Lots of tomatoes to freeze, I've a big basket of them on my counter, but must get some work done before I can do that. Freezing will be more laborious since I want to cut out at least some of the stinkbug damage.
