jerks

someone stole my lavender plant. it wasn't even in bloom. it was probably some stoopid drunk hipster who'll just end up killing my precious plant. they could have easily taken a pepper plant. with lots of nice red peppers. or rosemary even.

devastation

i planted my fall/winter crops and have been battling little green inchworm like caterpillars. the seem to think my cabbages and broccolis and cauliflowers are their personal salad bar.

i started by spraying organic pesticides. that stuff is a joke. the little boogers practically drank up that juice with a straw. 

and so i have resorted to harsh measures. one was to pick them off individually and squish them. i did that with the babies but the adults were tooooooo squishy for me to stomach. so now i have resorted to poison. that's right. inorganic pesticides. there were far to many of the little green maggots for me to handle one pinch at a time. 

i hope i get some veggies in the winter now.

also, i would like to point out how i have never really been a violent person to nature and animals but gardening has made me that way now to certain species. death to squirrels and little green caterpillars.
