Posted on August 6, 2021August 6, 2021 by larksparrowLast 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?
Yes a local expert confirmed Bombus pennsylvanicus!
I dont think you could garden without briar. Tho the toad surely helps too
Truly. Invaluable friends the both.
