one big bad news and a few good newses

the squash is dead. rest in peace, squashies. no thanks to squash borers. so i went out this afternoon and squashed some borers myself. jerks. so no squash this year. but hopefully they won't bore their way through anything else.

the good news is that the barlotti beans have flowers. and we have little okras coming up. and i saw 2 bees the other day. those are the first bees i've seen, so i'm happy about that.

You can have some of our bees... yellow jackets, hornets, cicada killers, and stink bugs too.

Honey bees? Really?!

All I've seen so far have been bumble bees and a couple of cedar bees.

We NEED bees!
