Alarum:
Wierd bug in garden:
look at those hairs - i thought it must be the "puss Caterpillar" cocoon but it seems not....
we cut one of the slimy gross things open and discovered this nest of tiney white somethings??? i still think they look like possible tiney puss caterpillars but further research has not proven this conclusively and that would be a pretty big nest for a moth to lay.. its about 2inches long...
the empty nest. the mouth looks ike those silver fish cases - they seem to have just one siverfish but this ech looked like it has released lots of little ones to go forth and multiply.... we will observe and let you know what is found.
and on a prettier note
Jatrophe um i forget the rest, white peacock butterfly - along with swallowtail and gorgeous large monarch butterflies,in our garden.
okra flower and the fruit - see the first burgundy okra - tasted just like rest, maybe a little earthier..
NEW SEED BEDS BEING CREATED. It's Time for Planting!!!
Callaloo love - Ellen and Diane create, plant and protect the callaloo bed.
More garden happiness.

Come and find some little task you might undertake on a regular basis, and make your
own connection with the garden, then you will have a reason to enter the portals which
take you from the grimy outside world of non-co-operation and insanity to a place of
joy, sustenance, rejuvenation and spirit feeding - the garden garden garden,
Our beautiful garden.
