I Won’t Be Silent! Chemtrails!

Today, I listened to Doreen Virtue on Hay House Radio online. She said that chemtrails, or geo-engineering, the manipulation of the Earth’s atmosphere by spraying heavy metals into it from jet planes (then those particles fall to Earth), GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), fracking (forcing chemicals deep in the ground to extract natural gas) and fluoridation (forcing the […]

There’s nothing I get a bigger kick out of than watching a sprout push out of the earth from a seed I have planted. These seedlings come from seeds I planted within a week of one another. In Southern California, gardeners do not get a break! We can, and must, if you are obsessed as […]

A Monarch Butterfly Is Born

Today was the day! I checked on my cocoon early, as it was quite dark yesterday. I took this photo about an hour before she emerged. You can see where the dark ring top left became a row of holes, presumably for ventilation, as it does not function as an exit zipper. The butterfly rips […]

We received a little rain last night, enough to completely cover the surface of the garden. Before the sun comes out (it always does) and dries it all off, I captured this wide shot. As you can see, I’m way behind on fall planting. Thankfully, we are in Southern California, so, there’s a good chance […]

How Do They Know? Mysteries of Caterpillars

After yesterday’s post, I went out to clean the remaining egg off the driveway, or, I tried. I was using the “jet” setting on my hose sprayer and blasting one bad spot. I looked ahead about ten feet from me and saw something dangling to a 20″ plastic pot of a flowering bush. I figured […]

Rain, Caterpillars and Puccini

I had been alerted that rain was coming this weekend, and I knew I had to get a fresh layer of alfalfa down on my hard-baked clay, otherwise, every trip into the garden would result in mud-caked shoes. So, this morning, I spread it out. Rain was coming down gently on my back. I had […]

Celery Patch Pests

Celery Patch Pests

| November 3, 2012 | 14 Replies

Celery patch pests are trouble. I highly recommend growing celery in raised beds, so you don’t have to get down on all fours to inspect your celery. I did that today. I went out to harvest some spears for juicing, and ran across a cabbage worm. I ran in for my camera and had to […]
