I hate growing outside...
I hate picking those friggin' wormy things off my girls... I have been treating her with the rosemary SNS and the nasty thing was trying to crawl out of the bud and the only damage I can find was a couple of leaves and I just pinched them off... The little patch of hay I had left the last time I cut the grass that she was sitting it has gotten to high and there were grasshoppers jumping all over her and when I picked up the smart pot...
We won't even go into all the nasty that was under there.... snails and the such which I know means the eco system is good blah blah blah but I hate bugs and crawly things...
She did have a lady bug on her when I just checked on her so she should be liking her new cleaner spot... I have a lot of lady bugs naturally but after reading your post Canna about being able to store them in the fridge.... I may order a batch and give her a few extra... I honestly thing the SNS works amazingly well and of the 3 outside girls only 4 of the wormy things have been found and the Garden shack chick is more OCD than I am and is checking them daily... I guess it's a good thing she decided she wanted to stay there for a while...
Anyhow I didn't take the camera out with me and I'm to lazy to go back out there right now but I will post her up in a bit....
Hope everyone has a blessed and green day....
