LOCUST UPDATE
- Walking across the lawn, which needs mowing, locusts flick up...probably about 2 or 3 to the metre.
- They hit the bird net and bounce off. I am sure they could crawl through the holes but I am motivated to finish re-netting that part of vegetable garden that has a frame over it. Maybe they won't be able, or will be disinclined, or are too stupid to climb through.
Ooh I like those yin yang beans! They would make an interesting soup. The beans I am growing this year are pink-flowered runners, borlotti, cannelini and butter.
ReplyDeleteI hope your chickens keep busy chasing after those plage locusts!
Great pictures. As you know, I have a weakness for beans of all types! I'm hoping to grow some of the Cherokee Trail of Tears ones. I have recently bought some called "Selma Zebra" which are described as "Stunning purple speckled and striped pods". Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteRats will be rats!It's all happening in your garden, locusts or no locusts.

I like the yin yang beans too, how well would the work with my zen attitude!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, do you think that God is trying to drive you out of your garden, exodus style?
Those bean photos are captivating... now I can't wait for the catalogs to get here because it is fall for me. I always end up with more than I can find room for in the garden.
