No green hornworms here for awhile. I just went at 'em with the good pruners. like slugs.

My first brandywines are about ready to eat. I have the bacon in the freezer waiting. I generally don't bother with the lettuce.

*Big Orange Splot* is the name of a picture book by Daniel Pinkwater, so I think your book title might raise hackels, SRS.

I am not keeping ahead of the weeds before they drop their heavy ol' seedheads. except the buttercups. I think I finally turned a corner on the buttercups.

Since I don't spray anything except for rose funguses the birds love my yard but I couldn't tell you what all they are. They sound nice though.

I keep getting these vounteer wild plum trees my yard is not big enough for. Surely the birds aren't ...?? nah.
