Inspired by Little & Lewis of Bainbridge Island, I created this concrete "Dinosaur Egg" and pedestal and set it among my fall blooming heritage dahlias and asters.

MDNofziger writes: The spider webs your seeing on your rose bushes are Spider Mites. They are abundant in the heat of the summer when conditions are dry. They do not like wet conditions and a high blast from a water hose will dislodge most of them. There are natural predators that eat them: Lady bugs; Green Lacewings. Or, you can use a miticide on them every three days for 1 week (due to the eggs that hatch. FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS, THE LABEL IS THE LAW). Spray early in the morning before temperatures exceed 90 degrees so that the miticide has time to dry. Posted: 9:51 pm on August 17th
