I want to plant some next year if we can get a grip on the shield
bug/stink bug problem. Very frustrating. I like them small--- only
an inch or two across--- steamed and served whole. That size is also
great in stir fries but you probably already know that since you grow a lot
of asian-type veggies, don't you?

I have never seen a shield bug two inches across, if I come across any I
will try them steamed as you recommend. Is it worth trying this method
with the little babies that are say 3/4 inch across ? Do the bright
colours of their exoskeleton survive cooking to decorate the plate or
should you keep some raw ones for decoration?


spurf!

You owe me a keyboard, young man.

And I don't consider the beer nasal lavage a partial payment,
either.
