I use okra plants to keep in in check. The beetles eat the leaves and die. And the okra flower is quite pretty too. Glad to hear the raspberries are doing well. They are one of my favorite fruits.

And a great recipe. I have always found that if I have an insect problem with a plant, something is amiss with the soil. Feed the soil, feed the plant and insects will not be a problem. I use insect problems as a symptom of other problems, in other words :)!

Japanese beetles, being imports, are a nuisance but otherwise the balance is pretty good. My raspberry patch was a raving jungle of bugs while it fruited, but they hardly touched the berries -- mostly they ate each other. .-= Elizabeth Barrette´s last blog ..<a href="http://gaiatribe.geekuniversalis.com/2009/07/15/my-tomatoes-are-growing/" rel="nofollow">My Tomatoes Are Growing</a> =-.
