IN THE GARDEN

THE RARE temperatures under 80, make life easy, contrary to Gershwin's well known composition.

INSECTS DEPARTMENT

One dead wood  cockroach, flat and ugly, was found close by the north garden wall while pruning one Turnera subulata.  The good news is that they feed on dead matter.

On Sunday, one amusing green caterpillar found in the Capsicum florescens, pelleted poop all over the concrete.  These creatures like it hot considering they also feed on the pods.

That night a couple of brown beetles were executed flip flop like.

The culprits were caught in the act munching on the Coccoloba uvifera.  I know it may affect me karma in next life.

Miscelaneous

The Carica papaya is looking like crap.  Tens of small flying insects were discovered while spraying.  The attack a little while longer was quick with Antigonum's secret pest formula.  But I am afraid it will not suffice.  Every time the leaves turn brown, shrinking in the process, they pass away.

The basil, oregano and Rosemary propagated recently with rooting hormones are doing well and will be transplanted soon.

If you are into the edible gardening fad I would recommend this procedure.  It is faster than planting seeds, with high survival rates.
