hahaha...yes I like to show my toms, especially if I can make you jealous. :setc_023: chuckle. Yep, better keep your eye out for the blight....
Oh, I see...well, too bad in a way, but perhaps you will do a show in august. I have to say, the pics that I have seen of your rasps are very...
You know, Philip--I suspect that it may be a hover fly. I say that because it has no visible antennae, as do bees and wasps. I have similar...
Well....Jewell! Your garden is looking just splendid. You have taken some very nice fotos this time showing all kinds of interesting things....
