Well after venturing out today I've come to the conclusion that right now I live in the tropics.
It's a jungle out there!!!!
The past few weeks have seen a weather pattern of fairly hot, humid and rain at least every two days even if it's just for a little bit in the evening or during the night.
It's absolutely wonderful for the veggies. I've never seen by onions so big at this time of year and the tomato plants are just exploding. Unfortunately in one section of the garden that I didn't get mulched properly I cannot see them anymore. I didn't go out there for two days...only two days! I can't believe it. It's like these these weeds and grass were just plopped down there fully grown.
We've just given up on one part of our yard. Mowing every second day or third days is just getting nuts. So it's our brand new 'naturalized' area for the summer at least.
I'm trying very hard NOT to complain, water and rain... good. Really..they are...but holy moley I've never seen growth like this before and yeah, the bugs are way worse or at least the ones that have decided to eat the beans. Didn't have one bit of problems with any bugs eating them last year.
Ah nature...gotta love it... [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img]
