I am with you about bugs, I am sure I have eaten hundreds of the things. We never ate candy and we even took apples to the movies. Why not? Eating home grown Apples is asking for protein within. Sure when you see the hole its too late it's in your belly. I buy romaine but no longer the hearts they seem to lack any Chlorophyll I like the dark green leaves they do last much longer. We like Radicchio but not a lot and I find it bitter. In Sam's we buy a big container and it lasts very well. I found a cheap salad spinner and it does the job of washing and drying it out. We rarely use tomatoes, I like grapes much better or avocado or strawberries. DH likes walnuts raisins and craisins. I bur Salmon and portion it out. 3 ounces for me and 5 for DH . I cut off all the very thin edges and that is what we use for the Salmon salad. Much better than croutons. HUGS Pat in Rainy MAINE. Hugs and love to both of you. I hope Alex PT is helping his knee.

Oh, I know what you mean about the bugs. I'm not really bothered with them much here in PA unless I go back into the woods but, growing up in Maine was another story. We use to call them dive bombers. It was sad that at times you just couldn't go out. I can remember spraying my clothes with bug spray before getting dressed and heading outside.
Hope your bugs aren't too bad since your yard is beautiful and looks like such a wonderful place to relax!
