Sorry I have not been blogging much lately. I have a great deal to share, but I have been too busy living life than making time to blog life.

Today I give you Good ‘n’ Bad, Garden version.

Good

Beneficial insects are good things out there.

Like a small Praying Mantis. This little guys was a fun surprise to find out there this morning. He watched us as much as we watched him. If we moved, he turned on the leaf the same direction we did.

And some wasps and frogs have been spotted, but not captured by the camera yet. All those guys make me happy.

Bad

This little guy was captured by the camera right before my son made him to be no more. This is a very bad worm.

cutworm

The little green guy is bad because he does this to my peppers:

bare pepper plants

And that makes my angry. Everyone say it with me now: Bad worm.

Good. You did great. This little guy is also bad because he eats the leaves in my garden.

eastern lubber nymph

This also makes me angry.

Good

These nice pretties are doing rather well. This makes me happy.

tomato blooms

Bad

Some of my tomato flowers die and fall off before they have much of a chance to grow. This makes me angry.

I think it is the fault of the little green guy first mentioned above. harumph.

Good

Blackberries, almost ready to pick and eat Make me very happy.

Bad

Robins are bad, for my garden. Blackberries, turning black, picked by large fat robins and disposed of half eaten makes me angry. Very angry. In my best Soup Nazi voice I yell “No berries for you!”

stupid robin

Hmm, I wonder, do robins taste like chicken?

Good

So I’ll leave you with only some positives today.

Good Cucumber Beginnings

    We must have garden insects here, too, but the deer never leave enough of the plants in the garden for me to be sure…
