I have social anxiety issues. That video is actually a pretty good representation of how my brain perceives most of my attempts at social interaction to go. I had never seen it before and got a good giggle

That old wooden bridge was a cool find. Old, abandoned structures like that always make me wonder what the history behind them is.

Thank you for reading my post and for leaving a good comment that promotes conversation. I'm still a bit in awe that people actually find the stuff I post interesting. This is only my second year of managing

Thank you!

Thank you for reading and commenting!

There is a Bt that is specific for moth and butterfly caterpillars which is what I use in the organic garden I manage. The one I use can be used up to the day of harvest. And it is fairly effective if

Not sure what control methods you may be using for the aphids, but I've had really good luck with insecticidal soap. Dawn dish soap and water is actually fairly effective for aphids as well, but not quite

I don't know if you've ever heard of Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, but they have a whole selection of winter squash. They might have some varieties that would perform better in your climate if you find you

Oh nice! Thank you! I work on a private estate, so money generally isn't an issue. I'll have to tell my boss about this and see if he'll order me some.

I've seen recommendations for planting onions with Cole crops to dissuade cabbage caterpillars. Haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it's effective or not.

I had two kinds of cabbage going this year Chinese Hilton and Premium Late Flat Dutch. They had some minor feeding damage, but I can't recall finding any actual caterpillars on them. Even when the broccoli

I've actually been thinking along very similar lines to what you're talking about. Especially with the whole holding off on publishing some of the better posts I'm wanting to do until I get a bigger following.

I'm probably far too logical for my own good sometimes. I'm one of those who believes that we completely control who fall in love with. We choose who we allow ourselves to get close to and attached to.

Oh no! Your neighbor's bush is actually serving as a nearby place for them to converge to breed. I would assume that they aren't doing anything to control them which is bad news for you. You might talk

I've noticed that they aren't all that found of cabbage in my garden either. They chew on it some, but they seem to prefer broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and even kale. Both the cabbage looper
