How can things grow this much in a week? Front yard edition
Wow!!
Another night, another earwig
I put petroleum jelly around the bases of the four test plants. I took pictures of two. I also covered the Brunswick cabbage again with a jar since it got eaten a lot last night when uncovered.
Quick checkup before work
No more diatomaceous earth, now for oil traps
I talked with a nice county extension agent today who said anything soft-bodied could be hurt by diatomaceous earth (DE) including toads, though being large and hopping they’ll be less so than a slug or earwig. But, I love my toads, so no more DE.
She did however suggest oil traps to reduce their population while I work to make the habitat less absurdly full of rotting wood (thanks past Claire for all the mulch).
New babies: cabbage and mizuna
Seeds and apple tree on a drizzling morning
Paula came over and we planted many things, as well as doing some trimming and raking.
