Please little crabs. Eat your hearts out!

Leaf hoppers have sucked on all the tomatoes. And I JUST got the stink bugs under control!

Moving to a new state has been very trying as far as the garden goes. One state further south and I'm seeing garden pests I've never even heard of. But check this out

Fiddler crabs have invaded my garden! This one was five feet off the ground, enjoying a leaf-hopper dinner behind some tomato stems.

Ain't he cute!

Song sparrow built a nest in my box of deer netting 😅

First large (not cherry) tomato to ripen!

I chose celebrity tomato for its heat tolerance. SC summer is no joke

I didn't realize the lemongrass I planted in front of my peppers gets 4ft tall nor that the lemon balm spreads so prolifically. Had to transplant

So I replaced them with cilantro

This is "Three Mountaineers" herb and spices cabinet. Made in NC in 1960s and 1970s

This one was bought new by my mother. But you can still find them for sale for $40-$500

Got a spot of hard packed sand where nothing grows? Plant lavender!

Lavender hates rich soil and mulch. Leave it alone and watch it thrive
