No more zucchini and cucumber in the garden. we have some kind of beetle/bug that is over-running the garden and they seem to particularly like the leaves and stems of the cukes and zucs. There was basic nothing left of the plant by the time the ants got to the fruit and reduced it to mush. Yum Yum.
So, those are gone and I have scattered some salvia and garlic chives and marigold seeds. Hopefully these will bring some natural pest control into play.
Speaking of playing, we continue to enjoy boating and fishing. 80 degree days make gulf touring very pleasant. With a new fish (depth) finder aboard, we're heading out next to Treasure Island Reef for some underwater viewing with our acrylic bottomed bucket. It would be more fun to snorkel and see, but that is just to cold for me! So far we've hugged the gulf side of the beach, but this will be 5 miles out.
We're getting ready for the holidays. The house is decorated. Packages have been mailed to those far away, and cookie baking is just around the corner. I love the smells of baking!
