Seedfork said:Speaking of garden helpers, today in the garden I was shocked to see a large two inch long green caterpillar, being drug across the ground by a long narrow bodied wasp, not as long as the caterpillar. He seemed to have drug it out in the open sun so I could see what he had done, then he flew off. Maybe to let the caterpillar decay, maybe to go get help?
Seedfork said:Gardening is like an adventure, a jungle adventure for me the past few years. Armadillos, Opossums, and Raccoons are teaching me new things everyday. Like how some plants can survive being dug up and replanted several times, that having earthworms in the garden also has a downside, that soft friable garden soil is a perfect place for all sorts of critters to dig and that no matter how many zinnias I plant I need to plan on replanting them over again.
