no matter how much he tells you that he was being careful, that stuff once it gets airborne can get anywhere. evil evil weed killer. i'd say cut back if it's big enough.

that orange one looks a lot like brown locusts that i get during rain season.

i pick them up and throw them in the neighbor's yard =D

So anyway, we just adopted a cat. It ran away from their house (the house across the street) because it wasn't being treated right. So it started showing up in my garden and as usual, the animal lover in me got soft on him and fed it. Now it won't leave! lol. So I talked to the owner and told us...

more new additions, i keep adding stuff. lol. it's an addiction i tell ya! camellia sinensis, where tea comes from. oregano thyme, thyme that has oregano overtones, says so on the label! =D

i used to add lots and lots of compost in my mix and now i do more of a 2/3 coir or potting soil then 1/3 compost. it seems to level it out. and about a handful or two of bat guano for good measure.

grasshoppers. i used to not mind them. but then they don't get to stay here in my garden. there used to be a lot of them before i started growing vegetables.

i don't really worry about acidity so long as i know what's in it and so long as i get the ratios of my dirt mix right. =D

i try to do that unless my plants are starting to get real bad looking and then i intervene.

that's fungus. not sure if it's beneficial or otherwise. my chicken manure and coffee grounds get that. i think it happens when your compost is slightly on the acidic side. and of course lots of moisture.

that there is a beauty if i may say so myself.

them ladies are the best!

my plants used to get it a lot. back when i grew in pots. then i started growing in regular old soil on the ground. they loved and outgrew the problem. they fought it off and grew a lot better. that'll stunt them a for like 3 months or so if you don't fix it. and then they die from exhaustion...

solutions to diseases: water with compost tea, on the leaves and the dirt. water with aspirin solution (water and aspirin) on the leaves only. water with calcium bicarbonate / sodium bicarbonate on the leaves only. water with diluted milk and water solution on the leaves and dirt. at least...

i've read a tree's seed could grow in a person's lung by just inhaling it and it'll take root. scary stuff. i hope i don't breathe in any weed seeds when i mow down the grass. lol.

just repot. they'll outgrow it. should at least. get a different growing medium or make sure your new soil is disease free. and check yer water.

My problem with my plants when they do get pretty productive, the pods ripen earlier and i end up with smaller pods.

Wouldn't mind having praying mantis bugs guarding my plants. I do spot the odd dragonfly here and there in my garden. I dont see ladybugs around lately. I want more ladies in the garden. =( lol
