my poor joe pye.  something likes it. 

. 

this one was eaten last night.

you can see on the right side of the plant that it was eaten  – about three weeks ago.  nothing like ms raver’s – of course this picture is from the Adkins Arboretum – but AR writes about how good hers are doing this summer.

and whoever also ate most of the lovage.  and i dont think it was mr GH because the fence is too pointy and high for him to climb over – and the parsley is not eaten – although he eats my neighbors every time he has come calling.    i hope i didnt just jinx myself  uhoh

 

and my poor rose….

someone decided it looked tasty.

now, in my four years gardening in Park Slope, in an open front garden – i never had a rose BITTEN off from the plant!   and none of the other roses have been eaten.

what the hell is out there when my back is turned?
