All I have to say is thank goodness my husband wasn’t here for the first letting loose of the ladybugs. He’s going to be out sorts enough about the seemingly dead bag of ladybugs I have in the fridge, but if he saw the way they come to life and start swarming when they get a bit warm,...

Ok, so I bought a rain gauge. It cost a whole $1.99. It’s a simple model, just a square cup on a stick, with markings up the front. I finally got around to sticking it in the garden yesterday, hoping to record how much rain fell during the predicted 48-hour-rain-athon.
So my thought is that...

Actually, I think it was the compost that he seemed to be attracted to, but no sooner than I got the mint planted a friendly butterfly showed up. It was hard to get a picture because he kept trying to land on me and the camera, but I managed a few before he flew off.
Mints are planted, the golde...
