The garden this morning #may #mygardentoday #maygarden #allium #inmygardentoday

Good bugs and bad bugs.... who decides what is what? So many people ask me what the difference is. So here’s my explanation- I hope it makes sense! . I would consider a ‘good bug’ any bug that brings benefits to the garden- bugs and insects that pollinate flowers, fruit and vegetables or bugs and insects that eat ‘bad bugs’. I would call bugs and insects ‘bad’ if they eat all my flowers, vegetables and herbs or I’d call them bad if they eat all my good bugs. . BUT! And here’s the but... So many bugs that are classified as ‘bad’ are extremely beneficial to the garden. They pollinate with their foot traffic and they eat other ‘bad bugs’ that nothing else will. In fact, some of the bugs that are deemed ‘bad’ by some, actually play a vital role in your gardens eco system. . So what’s the answer for me? I stay away from any pesticides, herbicides and anything ending in ‘cide’. Anything that kills bugs and insects doesn’t exist to me. Bug killers kill all bugs- there’s so discrimination with pesticides. I also plant things that attract the things I want to attract- specific flowers, herbs and plants that welcome the bugs I want more of. In my garden Perennial Basil flowers all year round and brings the bees flocking to the garden. The bamboo I use to protect my vegetables from Bush turkeys create rough insect homes for all sorts of creepy crawlies to live. Attracting native birds to the garden is also helpful because they love to eat bugs. Same with lizards, they do a terrific job of eating snails and slugs in my garden. I attract lizards my creating rocky mounds and hideaways for them. . There’s a wealth of information out there- from internet searches, to gardening books and awesome Instagram gardening accounts. Find the bug you’d like some more of in your garden and find what it is that you need to plant to attract it. It won’t be long before your little eco system balances out. When something moves in to take over, find an organic solution and sit back, relax and enjoy your garden- and the wealth of bugs living all around you. Happy gardening everyone! #mybackyardharvest #beneficialinsects

Under the steady gaze of Trish the scare-owl, the sparrows have mostly stayed away from the peas. But it’s only a matter of time before they realize that Trish isn’t really interested in leaving that pole...

From @cramerhomestead - What can I say. He knows how to grow a sunflower. This is the result of saving the seeds from his biggest sunflower each year. Everyone always asks “what variety?” All I know is a few years ago he planted a few different mammoth varieties and has saved the seeds from the biggest sunflowers to grow bigger ones each year. This flower stood over 14 feet tall when first bloomed. # .
