EEEK! Insects!
Are they good or bad? |
May, 2009
Those are good insects! Thousands
of these are crawling over my plants inside
the greenhouse. They are everywhere this
time of year. Do you know what these little bugs are? More... |

Spring, 2009 Progress report: This Spring season farmer Verne, all by himself,
harvested over 900 huge cuttings, some with nasty 3" spines. • killed scores of spiders with sticks, stepping on them, or squishing them
with his leather gloved hands • fixed a 50 year old small tractor (had to buy a junk one on
Craiglist for the transmission parts), then made a sled to tow
dozens of 100 pound San Pedro tubs out to a new growing
field • rebuilt a "free" 25 year old rototiller (had to weld
the frame, replace the ignition, source new bushings, and
lap the valves) in order to till the rows between the
specimens growing in the earth • sort and move
hundreds of specimens to various new locations • screen & mix over
800 gallons of potting soil • set up 900 cuttings in newly
purchased nursery pots to root. Expenses: nursery
pots — $550, plus $100 for perlite, $500 in mechanical parts
& tools, $580 in Vet bills (wild animals bit & infected
all 3 farm cats), $700 in shipping supplies.
And you thought I'm just sitting here rolling in money? Ha!
I'm tired, sore, my hands are pincushions, and I'm broke.
—Thank you. Verne [PS. Next I have
to transplant about 3,000 seedlings and 200 large
specimens.] |
