playing n the dirt

The soapy water is working on whatever type of lava got all over the leaves of my pepper plants.  The plants and leaves are looking much better.  The is some damage that can’t be repaired, but over all I think the peppers will be ok. 

I still don’t know what type of bug laid the lava, but I’m not to worried about that.  I think I did see one of them this afternoon.  It as an ugly red and black thing.  If I had tons of free time, I look up what kind of bug it is, but I have lots of other garden chores to do instead.

As much as I enjoy my gardens in the day, I really love them at night. After a long day gardening or at work I like to relax on the patio or wonder through the gardens. The gardens have a different feel and look at night, literally. Different bugs and critter come out to eat and mate and different flowers show their glory.

A farmer friend of mine told me a couple of years ago that it is easier to till the soil and pick the crops at night. I guess it’s like Mother Nature offering up her bounties and wonders.
