Last night new helper friend!! And other things yesterday

A fine Toad hanging out in the raised beds! Eat those earwigs please!! (May already be doing so as I have not seen many lately.)

Tomatillos Verdes doing well, I think I have enough now to make salsa verde enough to can.

Took garden cucumber to work today for a snack with ranch dressing.

Not entirely sure but I think a Bombus impatiens bumblebee on a loofah gourd flower. There were at least two of these bumbles around.

Helper!

Go bumblebees! Did you find out what the ones in your nest box are?
