We have hardly been out in the backyard since early June, around the time L broke her arm in fact! They are horrible. I decided to spray us all one day a few weeks ago but it didn't really help. Mysteriously, they don't bite me this year, but everyone else suffered greatly.
The Jerusalem artichokes are THIS BIG. They bloomed and are beautiful! I totally didn't expect that the most successful crop of all would result from those sad, ginger-looking bits in a plastic bag that Mollie picked up for free from the co-op last year. We're still getting peppers, some sad tomatoes, and basil (which is tasting sort of bitter by now) but the sunchokes are triumphant.
