Sept.1st, 2012 Caterpillars & Garden Highlights
I brought in new fennel folliage for the caterpillars today; and also found 2 large and 1 tiny caterpillar on the new folliage. I did a rough count; and it looks like we have at least 13 caterpillars now (maybe more!).
 |
| It is hard to believe how TINY they are when you first see them; and how fast they get HUGE! You can see why I have such troubles counting how many we have! Can you see the tiny black dot on the green needle shaped/dill shaped plant? The black with the white little stripe? That is the baby caterpillar! |
 |
| I counted 6 caterpillars when I took this photo--they are so camouflaged that it is hard to see them now. |
 |
| From the tiny speck to this huge guy in such a short amount of time! |
Dh brought in a new batch of produce from the garden on Sat. and I took pix of what he brought in--yes, that is a cantelope! We should have about 4 more to come! I'm glad we compost b/c we get new produce from the seeds we throw away!
 |
| Zucchini, pumpkin, and cantaloupe |
 |
| Lots of various red tomatoes |
 |
| We are going to can some green tomatoes (for winter fried green tomatoes) and Dh wants to make a green tomato dill thing--sort of like bread & butter pickles; but with green tomatoes. |
 |
| Green peppers, peppers, and green tomatoes |
And Dd got to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY in the rain!
 |
| Dd got on her bathing suit and played in the back yard. She found all the puddles and had a great time! |
