LFLF went to the Beaver Farmers' Market today (minus the camera) with peppers on my shopping list.
I arrived a little late, true, but there really wasn't a selection of sweet bell peppers to be found. In talking with several farmer friends, I found that the disgusting stinkbugs have damaged quite a few crops! So far they hadn't gotten the hot peppers, but the sweet peppers got hit pretty bad.
I've been hearing about the stinkbug damage on the KDKA Radio Sunday morning show, The Organic Gardeners. The web-site has an entire discussiom thread on the Forum about stinkbugs.
Too bad the camera was at home .... I got some nice Teddy Bear sunflowers for the office!
