corned beef, carrots, and rutabaga. the rutabaga goes really well with the corned beef with its ever so slight cabbage taste.

japanese beetles on green bean leaves, they cling to the undersides, making them harder to find and pick off by hand.

beetle trap that i bought two of last year. i dont recommend this kind. it unzips on the bottom to empty out the beetles. the beetles are still alive and can fly away when you unzip it. you have to dump them into water, let them die, strain the water off, and throw them away. the zipper broke the first time i opened it and i had to duck tape the bottom closed. and rain gets in the trap making a disgusting sludge at the bottom of dead and alive bugs and guts that gets all over your hands when you empty it. next year i'm using the kind with disposable bags. tie it off and be done. so gross.

amount of japanese beetles caught in only 3 days in one lure trap. they were HORRIBLE this year.
