WTF ... are those things on my potato plants??!!

  Yes, those were my exact words ...


There's a couple dozen of them!  So FitzGyver calls his Mom in Montana (farm lady and gardener extraordinaire) ... she says they are SEEDS!  It seems some horny bees have been having sex with my potato plants and the result of that can sometimes be seeds!  Who knew?  At least the potatoes have been getting some nooky ... ; )

Enjoy!

Bugs, Weeds ... Be Afraid .... Be Very Afraid ....

FitzGyver is fond of saying "The right tool for the job"...

This is the tool ...


I found some worms in my cabbages ...


Bye, bye bugs!  You're compost now!


And a weed next to one of my raised beds ...


Gone!



A very organic solution to the problem, don't you think?

FitzGyver tells a tale of a neighbor who went after his moles with an assault rifle ...  hmmmm....

; )
