plants and insects
In our home garden this morning, there was an amazing moth — a hummingbird moth — flitting around our bee balm flowers. I tried some photos — see below — but can’t really capture how much this flying bug really looks (and acts) like a bird.
And this morning in the community “garden” — our CSA farm field — we held a community workday that got lots of hands out there for a productive and social time. We cleared many beds, removed numerous tomato hornworms (which were then fed to the chickens!), weeded and weeded some more, and generally did some impressive sprucing up of the veggie fields.
