If only it was those Beatles.
...but no, it is these Beetles!
I knew they were coming...the Japanese Beetles invasion. It was predicted to be a bad year (meaning lots of them), because we didn't have a very harsh winter. They are here now having started their Summer Tour, and have chosen for a stage... my 4th of July roses.No screaming throngs of teenagers to welcome them...just a screaming gardener.
Today's were the first of the beetles I've seen this year. I was not happy. They knew I was coming back for them when I walked away.
I guess they got a ticket to ride...because when I got back to where I spotted them, they were gone.
Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
(whoa oh, oh)
?
The 'spray' comes home with me tomorrow! I'm gonna shake it up baby, and these beetles are gonna twist and shout.

I just mentioned on somebody else's blog: my dad always kept a bucket of soapy water in the rose garden and he tosses the beetles in. Kills 'em quickly :)
I HATE beatles!! Now I am going to check my rose garden. You got me worried about them.
Moe, I like the idea of the soapy water...I think I will try it along with my sprays.
Thanks for stopping in everyone! Check out your garden, the Beetles Summer Tour has begun!
Are you glad it's all over now? ;-) Japanese beetles are not a lot of fun I see, I like the British ones much better!
