You can access some nice backyard landscape plans both at the Fine Gardening website (not sure of the address, but you can find it easily with your search engine) and also at BHG.com (Better Homes and Gardens). Patty

Katydids will slice buds cleanly, usually vertically. The nymphs (immatures) look like spindly green grasshoppers. They are hard to see. If you try to catch one, anticipate a leap forward and up. However, they don't hollow out. There's a kind of sawfly larva that will hollow out buds, but I don't recall the sliced look. Also I have some large black ants that do this-- not sure whether they initiate the damage, but I think they do. These buds are sliced horizontally and then hollowed. You could apply to the closed buds only an insecticide that is labelled for chewing insects (beetles and worms).

1. Open an account on a free picture hosting site such as Photobucket, Webshots, or Flickr 2. Make your album "public" so others can see your pictures ....If you are using Photobucket: .......got to Account Options .......then, click on Edit Album Settings .......Where it says "My album is", be sure it says "Public". If it says "Private", change it to "Public" 3. Using camera software that came with your camera or other software like Microsoft Picture Manager, resize the pic so it's less than 600 pixels in both directions. [The best way is to reduce the size is by a percentage so it gets smaller in both directions at the same rate...say 15% or 20% of the original size] 4. Upload the picture to your account (see #1) 5. If you use Photobucket, when you see your pic on the site, copy the link from the box labeled "HTML Code" (I don't know where the link is in Webshots Flicker, etc.--I use Photobucket) .....[You can also resize your pic on the Photobucket site] 6. Simply paste the link in your message...you're done! When you preview your message you will see the picture. HTH!
