| Coccinellid Lady Beetle on my mesclun |
Also on my mesclun this morning was a not so beneficial bug,
a little cabbage looper munchin' on a leaf.
This is the year of the pests (and not the four legged kind that also sleep in our bed). Cutworms got two tomatoes and part of a row of radishes, not to mention kale leaves one by one. Aphids almost got the better of John Davis, but I took care of that - along with a colony of jerks ants left behind after the removal of the mugo pine and potentilla. Boiling water, cinnamon, and a little bit of commercial spray. I am going to win.
