Grasshopper Plague of 2011

Its official. We have been suffering from ridiculous numbers of grasshoppers for the entire summer, and finally yesterday the hoppers made the local news.

Now I am not talking just a few hoppers. I am talking roughly 20 per foot or MORE around most of our 5 acres. Its crazy. Our garden is completely destroyed- only tomatoes are left now, and they are eying those too. I have sprayed three times and I am thinking I might need to spray again tonight or tomorrow.

Maybe we can start harvesting the hoppers and frying them up. Make hopper candy or something useful...
